If I complete Basic Training am I EMDR Certified?

Short answer: no, not yet.

After Basic Training, you will be an EMDR clinician. However, certification is a level of advanced training that you can pursue after you complete Basic Training. You can think of Basic Training like a bachelor’s degree in EMDR, and Certification like a master’s degree. You have to get your bachelor’s degree first before you can pursue your master’s degree.

After completing EMDR Basic Training with TTI, you can continue with your training to get EMDR Certified. Learn more about the requirements of Certification and our EMDR Certification program here.
