EFT International Master Trainers co-teaching EFT Level 2, Southbury, CT, US, 2013

Are you interested in teaching EFT and becoming a Trainer with EFT International? If teaching EFT is something you're passionate about, EFT International provides a pathway for Accredited Certified Advanced EFT Practitioners (in the 3rd year of professional practice) to gain the training/teaching experience necessary to step confidently, congruently and expertly into the teaching role - first as Newly Qualified Trainers - then as full Master Trainers of EFT.

EFT International offers an "Apprenticeship" model of training whereby any Master Trainer of Trainers can step into the role of Supervising Mentor and assess a candidate's qualifications and experience to be an EFT International Trainer. The model and format of this apprenticeship is agreed-upon between the MTOT and Trainer-Candidate, while adhering closely to EFT International Guidelines.

In general, Master Trainers of Trainers (aka Teacher Trainers) will be looking to assess whether a candidate meets all Level 2 and Level 3 competencies and practitioner requirements as well as Master Trainer competencies and requirements - enough to spend at least 1 year teaching EFT Levels 1 and 2 on their own, under the tutelage of their chosen mentor.

Master Trainer apprenticeship programmes can be a combination of classroom-based or on-line, phone, or web-based study and practice.

Acquiring Newly Qualified Trainer (NQT)* Status

Acquiring Newly Qualified Trainer (NQT)* Status

Upon completion of a Master Trainer apprenticeship with a Master Trainer of Trainers, Trainer-Candidates are awarded EFT International Accredited, Certified Trainer (NQT) status.

All candidates for EFT International Accredited, Certified Trainer (NQT) status must:

  • Attain EFT International Accredited Advanced EFT Practitioner status for a minimum of 2 years
  • Work together with an EFT International Master Trainer of Trainers and complete all EFT International and discretionary practice and assessment criteria as set forth by EFT International and the Trainer of Trainers in the role of Mentor
  • Be a fully paid-up member of EFT International
  • Agree to abide by EFT International’s policies and procedures
  • Hold professional indemnity insurance where available
  • Take and pass the EFT International online Trainer exam (to assess practical and theoretical knowledge of EFT and knowledge of the Master Trainer programme and EFT International’s policies and regulations), when instructed to do so by their MTOT
  • Self-assess, together with Mentor (your MTOT), whether all the competencies have been met
  • Fulfill all criteria for NQT. Once agreed-upon criteria has been met, MTOT will submit a NQT Recommendation Form
  • Return a signed Trainer’s Contract (Trainer’s Contract Declaration) to the Accreditation Panel at accreditation@aamet.org, which includes agreement to abide by EFT International ’s professional standard EFT International Code of Conduct and Ethics

Master Trainers of Trainers running Master Trainer courses / apprenticeships can make further checks on the competence of applicants at their own discretion – provided fair notice is given to each Trainer-Candidate.

Once the Accreditation Panel has received notification that a student has passed the Trainer exam and completed all requirements, and read and signed the annual Trainers’ Contract, EFT International will award a Certification of Accreditation at Accredited Certified EFT Trainer (NQT) level.

All Newly Qualified EFT International Trainers can list themselves as “EFT International Trainers (NQT)” and will be listed on the EFTInternational.org website as “EFT International Accredited, Certified Trainer (NQT)” until they achieve full Accredited, Certified Master Trainer status.

Achieving Full Master Trainer Status

Achieving Full Master Trainer Status

Newly Qualified Trainers can apply to EFT International for full Master Trainer status after aptly demonstrating (within their first 1-2 years as a Newly Qualified Trainer, with arrangement with MTOT) they can train EFT to Levels 1 and 2 in a competent, professional and committed manner.

The following criteria are included in the Application form for upgrade to full Master Trainer status and must be met before the upgrade can proceed.

All candidates for upgrade from newly qualified (NQT) to full Master Trainer status:

  • Must have delivered at least two training courses at Level 1 and two training courses at Level 2 within the provisional period, all of which must be for groups of 2 or more students. One training course can be sufficient at each level if there are more than 6 participants in each training group
  • Must provide a valid CPD and Mentoring record for their provisional period including comments and a recommendation from the Accredited Master Trainer of Trainers who is acting as Mentor
  • Must shadow or co-train with a more experienced trainer through at least 1 training course and write a reflection on this experience as part of the recorded CPD
