EMDR Training FAQs
Second, if you don’t attend an EMDRIA approved training, you may not be able to attend further, advanced trainings or become a certified clinician, etc in EMDR as you haven’t attended an EMDRIA approved Basic training. Many advanced trainings require you to show that you have attended an EMDRIA Approved Basic training.
For-Profit agencies, hospitals or private practice: $1495
Non-profit agencies/hospitals, educational institutions, current or former military, and any graduate students: $1100
Cost includes:
Level 1 (Weekend 1)
Level 2 (Weekend 2)
10 hours of Consultation *This consultation is required by EMDRIA in order to complete
your basic level training, and is included in the cost of the training.
If you are looking into other training providers we recommend asking them if consultation
is included in the training price, as many times it is not. Also ask how much they charge to provide the consultation, as this can range from $25/hr to $250/hr.
Remember the consultation hours are required in order to be EMDRIA Approved and finish your Basic Level Training, so this can add up quickly and be a significant charge.
Non-profit fee is offered to:
Active or former Military
Non-profit agency settings *must work at least 20 hours for the non-profit/week.
Students:
*this is not the rate for anyone under post-graduate supervision towards independent levels of
licensure in your state, only active graduate school students.
Payment plans are offered as well, with an initial payment due at time of registration, and then $275 for 3 monthly payments after.

Not on our calendar at a time that works for you? We can let you know when we have one booked if you fill out a request form or sign up for the newsletter (we don’t spam you, and only send relevant future training info).
Nope. No pressure! The training is a lot of information, so we save the 10 hours of consultation for after the training when you are at home and want support implementing EMDR with clients.
After you have finished level 2 training, you will be given opportunity to sign up for consultation at times that work for you.
*EMDRIA Requires that you complete the 10 hours of
consultation within 1 year of having started your training (level 1 being the start date) so keep this in mind when scheduling your consultation.
1 year from start date.
EMDRIA requires that you complete all training requirements within 1 year of starting the training process. So: Level 1, Level 2, and all 10 hours of consultation must be completed within 1 year of start date. These are the basic requirements to be an EMDR clinician.
*We do offer trainings year round, so if you have to cancel or re-schedule due to unforeseen circumstances you may be able to attend a future training.
Great question! Nope. No. Nope.
Certification is a separate process, and it begins once you are done with the Basic Level Training (or level 2 trained).
Level 1, Level 2, and 10 hours of consultation are required to be an EMDR Clinician. Some refer to this as “level 2 trained” or “Basic Level Trained” in EMDR. After you are finished with this training, you can do EMDR and call yourself an EMDR clinician.
Certification: you may pursue certification after finishing this training, EMDRIA.org has more information on the requirements.

No, you do not. Level 1, Level 2, and 10 hours of consultation (which are all included in the price) are required to be an EMDR clinician.
Further consultation and trainings are offered, but you do not have to be “certified” or pursue additional training to practice EMDR.
