The EFT International Master Trainer Programme

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.
