Weekend 2 Modules 3 & 4:  February 20th-22nd, 2025 (Thursday-Saturday)

​

You must complete all 4 modules, either in the two 3 Day formats here in Las Vegas, or as a two day series at another EFT Community. You will not receive credit for the training unless you complete all 4 modules as required by ICEEFT. When you sign up for the course you are committing your intention to complete the entire course and all 4 modules.

 

Participants are recommended to present their own work through audio/videotape presentation. 

There will be opportunity for participants to get feedback on videos of their own work with clients. Bringing your own video to view is a necessary requirement as part of this training. Both the Externship and Core Skills are required to meet the training requirements of EFT certification.* Participants may be assigned alphabetically by name to show their tapes at one of the weekends if not enough volunteer to show their tapes in the first weekend of modules 1 & 2.

 

Participants should be prepared to share about 7-15 minutes of tape working with a couple or dyad if possible. Therapists are not expected to show work that demonstrates proficiency in the model yet as this is a beginning level training.

Attendance meets the ICEEFT course requirement (CEUs provided by  Southern Nevada EFT)* when applying for Certified EFT Therapist designation.

The only outstanding requirement for Certification after attending Core Skills Training is eight hours of individual supervision plus two certification tapes of the clinician's work as well as the certification packet. The application process is described on www.eft.ca. Final decision regarding readiness for certification is determined by the certification review board at ICEEFT in Ottowa.
