Please do get in touch with us if you are in the 1st or 3rd trimester of pregnancy. This is because you work on some of your own memories during the course which may increase your emotions and you may find upsetting or cause distress. We often have delegates that are pregnant and attend the course. We advise those that they do so purely at their own risk because they will still have to work on their own material during the course as an essential part of the training. If they still attend we then advise them to work with easier / safer memories.

We recommend that during the training you DO NOT book in clients or any other work in the evenings. It is important that you rest and come to the training feeling well rested so you are motivated for the course.

Please also inform us, by email, prior to the training if you suffer from vertigo, inner ear problems, migraines, epilepsy or any other health conditions you think may impact on your training experience.

EMDR Basic Protocols, Principles and Procedures (3rd ed, 2017) by Francine Shapiro. We do not expect you to have read the whole book, but the first 3 chapters are useful especially history taking. We then give you directed reading to specific chapters of this book throughout the training.

Applicants attending the online training from outside the UK will receive digital access to the training manuals. Printed manuals will not be shipped internationally due to frequent customs delays and non-delivery issues. The digital manuals are for the delegate’s personal use only and must not be shared, copied, or distributed. Delegates may print the manuals themselves for use during the training.

If a delegate outside the UK would still like a hard copy posted, this can be arranged on request for an additional £40 fee. Please note that we cannot guarantee delivery, and we accept no responsibility for delays or non-arrival. A tracking number will be provided once dispatched.

For face-to-face training, printed manuals are provided at the venue on the day of attendance.

At the end of Part 1, you will be emailed a feedback survey, and once completed your Part 1 training certificate will be issued automatically.

At the end of Part 4, you will again be emailed a feedback survey, and once completed your final EMDR training certificate will be issued. The survey includes a question confirming that you have worked with clients. If you have not yet done so, the certificate will not be released automatically. In that case, please email us once you have completed client work, and we will issue your final certificate manually.

Please note that we only issue certificates for Parts 1 and 4; certificates are not issued for Parts 2 or 3.

We draw your attention closely to our

particularly our cancellation policy.

No refunds will be made if the cancellation periods are not adhered to (even when your non- attendance is due to sickness or bereavement). If you are sick during the training or have to leave for any other reason you will have to rebook/pay on that training part, it is not possible to only attend the days missed due to this being an EMDR Europe Accredited Course that requires ALL the hours to be completed.

The EMDR Academy reserve the right to remove you from the course and refund your fees for remaining parts if they deem that you are not suitable for the training. This is not a workshop but an an accredited psychotherapy training course that has mandatory completion requirements (i.e., attend all aspects, complete all the practicals, input into supervision and work with 3 clinical cases). Our accredited training team have a duty to maintain the standards set by EMDR Europe.
