This is a beginner level EMDR Training. Listed are the requirements to attend this training:

Licensed Mental Health Professionals

• Qualifying medical doctors must be licensed to practice in their state or province.

• Qualifying advanced practice registered nurses must have a Master of Science in

Nursing (or higher) with a specialization in psychiatric mental health nursing and must

be licensed to practice through their state board or province.

• Qualifying Mental Health Clinicians must have a master’s degree in the mental health

field (Counseling, Marriage Family Therapy, Psychology, Psychiatry, Social Work) or

related mental health discipline and be licensed to practice through their state board or province.

• Individuals who only hold a chemical dependency or substance abuse license are not eligible as these licenses generally do not allow for a mental health scope of practice.

Pre-Licensed Mental Health Professionals

• These are clinicians who are actively pursuing a mental health license through their state board (or province) while working under a licensed supervisor. Some of these license types include associate, intern, limited, provisional, temporary and pre-license.

• Qualifying pre-licensed mental health clinicians must have a master's degree in the mental health field (Counseling, Marriage Family Therapy, Psychology, Psychiatry, Social Work) or related mental health discipline and must be actively pursuing a full license through their state board (or province) while working under a licensed supervisor.

• Individuals who only hold a chemical dependency or substance abuse license are not eligible as these licenses generally do not allow for a mental health scope of practice.

Graduate Students

• Qualifying graduate students must be enrolled in a master’s or doctoral program in the mental health field (Counseling, Marriage Family Therapy, Psychology, Psychiatry, Psychiatric Nursing, Social Work) or related mental health discipline. Students must have completed their core graduate academic coursework and must be in the practicum/internship portion of their graduate program. First year graduate students are not eligible. Graduate students must be on a licensing track and working under the supervision of a fully licensed mental health clinician.

• Graduate students who would like to take an EMDR Training will need to submit certain documentation (graduate transcript, practicum or internship details, and a letter from their supervisor which includes the supervisor's license information and number) in order to verify their eligibility. Students do not need to provide EMDRIA with any documentation unless specifically asked to do so by EMDRIA staff. Any documentation that needs to be submitted would go directly to the training provider either prior to or during the training registration process.

EMDRIA requires that clinicians complete ten hours of consultation as part of the Basic Training. Consultation is included with this training. After completing the Five-Day Intensive training, participants will receive an email with the consultation schedule and necessary Zoom links so they can begin participating in weekly consultation groups. There are groups scheduled from Monday through Friday so there are plenty of opportunities to receive consultation. Participants have up to one year from the time they start the training to complete the training and the ten hours of consultation.

After completing any Basic Training, the clinician is considered EMDR Trained. Certification requires additional training and consultation beyond the Basic Training. A clinician can begin using EMDR in practice after being EMDR Trained.

The Five-Day Intensive Basic EMDR Training, is approved by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program to be offered by The EMDR Collective as an individual course. Individual courses, not providers, are approved at the course level. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit. ACE course approval period: 01/27/2025 – 01/27/2027. Social workers completing this course receive 40 clinical continuing education credits.

Course completion requirements: To earn CE credit, social workers must log in at the scheduled time, attend the entire course and complete an online course evaluation. Certificates of completion will be emailed within 10 business days of course completion.

Cancellation of your registration with full refund can be done up to the Friday before the event begins. Please email wayne@emdrcollective.net to cancel or to request a refund. If space permits, registrants may also select another training date if they are not able to attend the training originally chosen. Registrants can make such changes by the Friday before the training begins.

All grievances including refund requests, complaints about course content, speakers, facilities, non-receipt of certificates, and other miscellaneous occurrences should be communicated to Wayne King, LCSW-C at wayne@emdrcollective.net. Requests for refunds can be made until the Friday before the first day of training. Full refunds will be issued to the credit card used to pay for the training. Complaints regarding the course content, speakers, facilities, non-receipt of certificate, or other miscellaneous occurrences will be documented. A course of action to address the complaint will be shared with the person making the complaint to work towards a resolution. A social worker consultant will be involved in all grievance resolutions for social workers.
