When can I do an Advanced EFT Level 3 course?

• You need to have completed an EFT Level 2 course
• You need to have facilitated EFT with clients for a period of at least 6 months since your Level 2 course (unless you were very experienced in EFT prior to Level 2 training, just without earlier formal training)
• You are ready to take your Art of Delivery to the next level
• You are a reflective practitioner, committed to ongoing learning and improvement
• You would like to continue to progress towards EFT International Accredited Certified Advanced EFT Practitioner registration
• You may already have completed a Level 3 course with another trainer and already be an Accredited Advanced Practitioner.  At advanced level the course content can vary significantly in the way in which we expand upon the basics so it is a useful continued professional development experience to repeat Level 3 workshops with different trainers.
• You took your original Level 3 Course prior to 2022 (EFT International launched a completely new and much more detailed syllabus in 2021). I this case, it would be advisable to take the current Level 3 as a refresher and for CPD purposes.
• You would just love another fun, information-filled EFT learning and professional development experience filled with Aha-moments.

There are numerous EFT training resources and organisations around, online and otherwise.  EFT International is recognised by and serves the public under the scrutiny of the UK Charity Commission, Registered Charity Number 1176538.

• EFT International is committed to advancing and upholding the highest standards for education, training, professional development and promotion of the skilful, creative and ethical application of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques or “Tapping”) worldwide
• EFT International Training is focussed on Classical EFT, as first developed and used by Gary Craig, EFT Founder, in 1990s, also incorporating Gary Craig’s more recent amendments (Gold Standard EFT)
• EFT International insists on live interactive training including multiple supervised paired practice opportunities), continued professional development and regular mentoring for existing accredited practitioners, also examination and supervised case study work prior to accreditation.  Members of the public can feel secure in this knowledge when choosing an EFTi-accredited EFT Practitioner
• EFT International’s Training Board draws on a very wide range of expertise from numerous experts in the field of EFT including specialist authors and Gary Craig’s EFT Founding Masters to create a top class syllabus and competence criteria used by all EFTi Master Trainers.

Jacqui has been a long-standing EFTi volunteer, involved in informal preliminary work from 2005, Treasurer 2009-14, Chair of Executive Board 2014 – 2022.

Above all, in order to learn anything you need to feel comfortable and supported – any fear or anxiety will stimulate a sympathetic nervous system response (think fight/flight), which impairs the function of the frontal lobes, the cognitive part of the brain where clear thinking and learning take place. So number one priority for me as your trainer is to ensure a learning environment where you feel safe, supported and confident. Throughout the course I aim to include humour, lightness, honest non-judgemental acceptance, safety and fun. I specialise in training only with small groups that enable everyone to feel safe and comfortable participating.

Beyond this one, over-arching principle of gentleness and compassion in practice, you can also expect:

• More than the stipulated minimum of 18 hours interactive live tuition (via Zoom, 7 x 3hr sessions, spread over 7 weeks)
• a small, friendly, supportive group (up to 8 people)
• Practical, active, laid-back, fun learning with personalised tuition, backed up with comprehensive handouts, course notes and theoretical explanation.
• Instruction in advanced EFT as defined in the new 2021 EFT International Level 3 Syllabus
• Expert tuition from an experienced EFTi trainer and lifelong educator delivering a rich and supportive learning experience, full of possibility. You will be carefully supported throughout your EFT learning journey.
• Continued opportunities to experience the effects of EFT on your own issues
• Live demonstration of EFT
• An amount of supervised practical experience that will solidly build your confidence as EFT Practitioner
• Opportunities to explore using EFT much more creatively
• Well over 50 per cent of course time spent on live demonstration, practice and discussion
• Plenty of opportunity to get your questions answered
• Full course materials (180-page manual)
• EFT Level 3 Attendance Certificate
• Advanced Practitioner Certificate recognised by EFT International and Accreditation Certificate from EFTi (subject to completion of case studies and practice sessions log, 12 hours’ group/individual supervision/mentoring, passing EFTi online exam and joining EFTi at Advanced Practitioner Level)
• Continued guidance and mentoring on developing a practice as EFT Practitioner
