What Are the Steps to Take?

Follow the Path to The Ultimate EFT Certification

The Ultimate EFT Certification Program is divided into several clear and sequential steps. You begin with four online courses. You then take a live 4-day Professional Skills Training. We offer these in many locations in the US, Europe, and Australia all year round.

We then connect you with an expert mentor, and as you work with practice clients, you get invaluable personal guidance in developing your EFT skills. After completing 40 case histories and a virtual workshop, the Practice Intensive, you graduate. The process takes about 12 months. For more information on each step, see below.

Module 1

VIDEO COURSE

The Genetics Of Personal Transformation

New scientific breakthroughs in fields like neuroscience and epigenetics show that we can change our gene expression to boost our levels of happiness, vitality, and health. The Genetics Of Personal Transformation contains 12 lessons in the science behind energy healing. Each hour-long lesson trains you in a practical energy technique that can boost your levels of health, energy, and happiness. Each of the 12 multimedia modules includes audio, video, and written content — so you can use whichever learning style works best for you.

Module 2

VIDEO COURSE

The Practice of Energy Psychology and EFT

The Practice of Energy Psychology and EFT course trains you in the 48 techniques of Clinical EFT, the evidence-based form of tapping. You’ll discover how most physical problems, from pain to autoimmune diseases, have their roots in emotional trauma. You’ll learn how to erase those negative emotions using EFT's fundamental methods, from the “Basic Recipe” to the “Movie Technique.” You’ll discover three “Gentle Techniques” for working with psychological trauma, as well as 12 “Professional Practice Techniques.” The course contains 12 training lessons with video and audio instructional programs illustrated by dozens of case histories.

Module 3

VIDEO COURSE

Professional Ethics

An understanding of ethics is one of the most important pieces of knowledge a practitioner of the healing arts can possibly have. Ethical principles are not restrictive rules and regulations – they are maps for bringing out your best as a caregiver and healer. This course trains you in setting healthy boundaries, self-care, appropriate relationships with clients, a clear “scope of practice,” and effective communication with other professionals in the healthcare field. Illustrated with 50 case histories, this top-rated course gives you a complete education in energy healing ethics.

Module 4

VIDEO COURSE

The Psychology of Coaching

A century of research has mapped the psychology of transformation. Many of these findings about human motivation and behavior are counterintuitive, and great coaching depends on understanding them. The superb and comprehensive Psychology of Coaching course presents this body of work in 13 sequential lessons. It combines behavioral science with the latest discoveries in neuroscience and energy therapy. It presents the best-of-the-best coaching techniques and principles in an easily accessible form. It trains you to help clients soar high above their previous best, transcending their old set points to experience Peak States.

Module 5

VIDEO COURSE PLUS LIVE TRAINING

The Art of Delivery

What does masterful EFT look like? The Art of Delivery video course is designed to take you beyond the mechanics of EFT and into fluid and natural practice. Before or during this module, you will also attend a live class. It's the brilliantly designed and time-tested EFT 4 Day Professional Skills Training. The curriculum is designed to give you practice in the 48 techniques of Clinical EFT. You’ll receive both structured training and practical demonstrations while practicing your skills with other members of the class.

Mentoring

Personalized Guided Training

Once you’ve completed your online courses and live training, it’s time to work with practice clients. It’s an exciting time, because we often see wonderful personal and professional breakthroughs, even during the very first sessions with clients. Once you see the effects that Clinical EFT produces in the lives of your clients, you’ll be “hooked” and quickly gain confidence in your newfound skills.

Guided Practice: Throughout the process, you'll be guided by an expert mentor to whom you'll send your case history reports. You’ll write up four sets of 10 case histories and receive feedback from your mentor. Your skills will progress steadily, as your practice is developed through your mentor’s personalized feedback.

Personal Work: You’ll also work on your personal issues. The training process often brings up unhealed parts of a practitioner’s past. You identify and address these over the course of 15 hours of personal work.

Discussion Group: You’ll also gain access to our exclusive online community. This lively discussion group of practitioners-in-training provides support and encouragement. People swap sessions, success stories, and challenges.

One-on-One Phone Calls: Another bonus of the certification program is monthly skills practice calls. These are offered by mentors and other practitioners. They often focus on common challenges that practitioners experience in client sessions.

Your mentoring phase breaks down like this:

Mentoring #1: Healing the Past through the Present
In Mentoring #1, you share your first set of 10 case histories with your mentor, as you practice Clinical EFT techniques 1 through 12. You also complete your first 5 hours of personal work.

Mentoring #2: Memory Reconsolidation
In your second set of 10 case histories, you practice Clinical EFT Techniques 13 through 24. You complete you second 5 hours of personal work.

Mentoring #3: Professional Practice Techniques
In your third set of 10 case histories, you practice Clinical EFT techniques 25 through 48. You complete your final 5 hours of personal work.

Mentoring #4: Refining Your Skills
Your fourth and final set of 10 case histories refines skills identified by your mentor.

Module 6

Energy, Trauma, and Healing

VIDEO COURSE PLUS LIVE TRAINING

As you begin mentoring, you become eligible to complete Module 6. It includes a live class called the Practice Intensive, as well as the Energy, Trauma, and Healing online course. The Practice Intensive is two days, and can be taken in person or virtually. With other practitioners, you role-play to develop your skills in each phase of the healing encounter, from the start of the first session to multi-year client relationships.

The online course trains you in the latest research on psychological trauma and healing. You begin by reviewing the characteristics of PTSD, showing specifically how it’s a physiological condition, producing extensive genetic, hormonal, and neurological changes in the human body. Yet with energy techniques, even adverse experiences recorded deep in the brain can be healed. You learn the three steps that overwrite old trauma in a process called “memory reconsolidation and extinction.”

The final section of this course is written by a brilliant collection of expert clinicians who train you in how to apply energy techniques during various stages of typical client sessions.

Graduation

Once you’ve completed these steps, you graduate. The online graduation guide shows you how to obtain insurance, list yourself on the EFT Universe website and Tapping Place, and other practical details. You receive your certificate and launch your new career as a certified EFT practitioner!

Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I begin the process of certification?
A: Fill out an application form here and making your first payment.

Q: Can anyone get certified or is it only for medical and mental health professionals?
A: Certification is a complete and comprehensive training package, and you can take it whether or not you’re a professional. About half those who become certified are licensed medical or mental health professionals. The other half are from all walks of life, and many are retraining for a new and satisfying career in energy healing.

Q: The live 4-day workshop will require me to travel, which is an extra cost. Can I take it online or virtually?
A: No. The 4-day workshop is live rather than virtual and here's why. Research shows that only about 20% of people are candidates for online or virtual learning. It also shows that people taking online courses have significantly lower retention of information and worse scores on tests of subsequent knowledge (Heppen et al., 2015; Bettinger et al., 2017, Xu, 2014). The brain processes in-person contact differently from on-screen contact (Newberg, 2017). These scientific studies are reinforced by two decades of experience training people in EFT have shown that online presentations and virtual training are unable to replicate the hands-on experience you have in a live workshop.

Q: I work in a stressful setting and I'm close to burnout. Can you apply these methods in this type of setting and can they help me on a personal level?
A: Very definitely. Over 50 studies show that the EFT techniques you’ll learn in this course result in big reductions in stress.

Q: If I purchase the Self-Transformative Energy Tools program for $497 and then I decide to take the rest of the program later what would that cost me?
A: You would go on to take the Transforming Lives with Energy Coaching course for $1,497. The mentoring and workshops component, which you’d complete after the online courses, costs an additional $2,499 if purchased after the online courses are complete.

Q: If I purchase both the Self-Transformative Energy Tools and Transforming Lives with Energy Coaching for $1,497 and later decide that I want to become certified in EFT what would the rest of the certification program cost?
A: The mentoring and workshops component, which you’d complete after the online courses, costs $2,499 if purchased after the online courses are complete.

Q: How do I report client sessions to my mentor?
A: We make this easy by providing you with session notes forms and a detailed outline of how to complete a case history.

Q: I have clients that I work with repeatedly. What is the maximum number of sessions I can do with one person?
A: We want you to get as much experience with as many different clients as possible, though you might work with certain clients over the course of several sessions. If you're planning to do more than five sessions with a particular client, check with your mentor first.

Q: I've been certified by another organization, but I recognize the value of getting certified by EFT Universe too. Is a grandparenting option available?
A: Yes. Email your certificate to the certification coordinator who will give you further instructions.

Q: There are several mentors. How do I connect with one?
A: We assign you a mentor when you're ready to submit your first batch of case histories.

Q: I took a workshop from a trainer who is not my mentor and I liked him/her so much that I'd like to switch mentors. Is that possible?
A: You can switch mentors at the end of a mentoring set, e.g. after Mentoring #2 but before Mentoring #3.

Q: What happens if I get an automatic six-month extension, but still don’t finish in 18 months?
A: You can purchase a second extension for $500.

Q: I know you have a second level of certification, in Energy Psychology. What happens if I later decide to complete that certification?
A: All of the work you have completed in getting certified in EFT counts toward Energy Psychology certification. In the Energy Psychology certification program, EFT is called Skill Set 1. You also learn two other Skill Sets in Energy Psychology, as well as a course called Advanced Energy Therapies. When you’re ready, you enroll. Find more information here.

Q. I’ve been to the workshop listings on the EFT Universe site and noticed that I need to pay to register for the live workshops like the 4 day Professional Skills Training. Yet I see that the cost of these is included in certification. How does this work?

A: You are reimbursed for the cost of the workshop after attending. The reason for this procedure is that many of the workshops are sponsored by other organizations like Omega Institute and 1440 Multiversity, not by EFT Universe. So to register, you pay the organization, and you’re then reimbursed for the tuition cost by EFT Universe. Thus the cost of this tuition is included in certification and there is no additional cost to you.

Q: What is EFT Universe’s approach to diversity awareness?

A: Energy Psychology and EFT professionals are expected to practice with awareness of the diverse backgrounds of the clients with whom they work, and to engage clients with cultural humility and competence.

Among the cultural considerations for working with diverse populations are language barriers; religious beliefs and family values; community beliefs and practices; cultural attitudes to gender and age; cultural conceptions of health and illness; issues related to ethnic assimilation and cultural preservation; and attitudes toward women, children, individuals identifying as LGBTQ, and elders.

Research shows that EFT is able to release emotional triggers quickly. This makes it uniquely suitable for use when approaching charged issues including ethnicity, bias, and unconscious stereotyping.

A diverse working group of EFT practitioners has engaged the practitioner community in a dialog about the need for ethnic and cultural awareness during treatment sessions. Their educational perspectives are found on the Practitioner Development page.

Q: Do you have special discounts or scholarships available?
A: Because we believe these tools are so powerful and we’d like to see them in the hands of everyone, we’ve made the certification as affordable as possible. We are not able to offer further discounts or scholarships.

Q: What are your terms of service and privacy policy?
A: You can find our full terms of service and privacy policy here.

Q: Can I get a refund if I change my mind about getting certified at some point during the process?
A: No. This is an academic course, like a college semester, for which you commit to completion. Your Admissions Advisor, Mentor, and others work with you personally from the beginning of the process, and you have access to all the tools required for successful completion. For this reason, no refunds are possible after you begin.
