Membership Levels and Fees

This category is for those who wish to be actively associated with EFT International and benefit from remaining on our Members’ mailing list. If you are interested in joining EFT International as a Supporter (or transitioning your membership to be a Supporter member), please write to membership@eftinternational.org.

This category also serves as a way our members can pause their membership due to hardship (e.g., illness, maternity leave, personal reasons). During the time of a Paused Membership, a member is not responsible for reporting annual CPD or mentoring activities. When a Paused Member is ready to reactivate their previous membership level, they must follow the process for reinstatement found here.

Note:  While a member is at this level, their Accreditation credential is on hold, and the member should no longer be using or practicing with their “EFT International Accredited Certified” Practitioner or Trainer credentials. 

EFT Student members can access the Members Area of the EFT International website to swap sessions, and download documents and resources. EFT Student members also have the opportunity to receive discounts to EFT International conferences and regional events via our EFT Student mailing list.

Specialty Providers are educators registered with EFT International and teach their specialty/advanced courses in accordance with EFTi Level 1, 2 and 3 and EFTi Glossary standards. As such, they are not considered Trainer level members** and cannot teach the core training levels under the EFTi name, nor can they certify students or mentor practitioner or trainer level candidates for certification purposes.

*EFT-related specialty courses are those that have a clear, definable and congruent relationship to foundational EFT skills and include a somatic (tapping) component. **EFT International Master Trainers, MTOTs and NQTs can already teach EFT-related Specialty Courses, in addition to Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 courses.
