Accredited Advanced Practitioner
Advanced Practitioner Accreditation is the highest level of EBEFT training.
For practitioners who have been using EFT with clients for at least a year, this training is designed to extend their understanding of EFT while equipping them with advanced tools and techniques that enable them to expand their practice, specialise more effectively, and grow as a practitioner.
With topics such as how to work with shame, anger, suicidal ideation and self-harm, this advanced training acknowledges that these difficult areas can arise within any population and the practitioner who is properly trained is best prepared to deal safely, compassionately, and effectively when they present.
In addition, the advanced training will offer an emphasis on working with multi-session clients, especially in relation to dealing with long term/chronic emotional and physical issues.
This, coupled with a focus on learning the nuanced delivery of EFT, often referred to as “art of delivery,” will round out a training that supports both the deepening and the expansion of a successful professional practice.
In order to attain EBEFT Advanced Accredited Practitioner status with EBEFT, trainees will meet the following requirements within two years of beginning the mentoring process:
- EBEFT Accredited Practitioner status attained no more recently than 6 months prior

* IMPORTANT: As a duty of care to the general public, EBEFT reserves the right to withhold accreditation status in the unlikely event that an individual’s mentors assess the trainee to have demonstrated behaviour that is either directly intolerant, judgemental, or abusive towards any client or that leads them to believe there is a risk of this happening. All EBEFT mentors have the right to not recommend someone for accreditation if they feel the core techniques and skills are not being sufficiently demonstrated. In this case, the trainee may be required to re-attend EFT training workshops and further mentoring.

If you experience any unusual symptoms practicing the technique you should seek the advice of a health professional immediately. Although the results of our research and others in the academic world indicate that many people benefit from the use of Clinical EFT with their food cravings, weight loss, anxiety and depression, the responses to the technique are quite specific to each individual.
