Requirements To Obtain EMDR Certification

By Eugenia Dickerson


There are many options available if your intention is to make use of EMDR as a section of your practice. If you currently do not have experience in this specialty, it will be necessary for you to start the program with the Basic program, before you can make application for EMDR certification.

Once you have completed the basic training, you will have the opportunity to apply for EMDR certification. This requires a certain level of experience and the fulfillment of certain criteria. The application for the certificate requires the successful completion of the Basic Training program. You will have to provide a certificate to indicate that you have completed this training program.

The application requires proof of registration or certification in the professional mental health field. You have to provide copies of documents to indicate that you have the facility to practice independently.

To apply, you need to have experience in your chosen practice field of at least two years. This should be relevant to the field of specialty indicated on your registration, license or certificate of professionalism. The documents you provide to prove your professionalism need to be notarized. If you are unable to provide proof of this experience, you have the opportunity to make a statement to this effect in writing and have that document notarized.

To qualify, you need to have undertaken at least 50 relevant consultations with a minimum number of 25 clients. You need to provide documentation to this effect and the documents should be notarized. As with the experience requirements, you have the opportunity to put this requirement in writing and have that document notarized. You may combine the two requirements into one written document and have it notarized.

It is necessary for you to have undergone a minimum of 20 hours' consultation with an Approved Consultant in EMDR. Your consultant should be able to provide you with required documentation for this purpose. The documentation needs to list the hours you received in individual consultation and the hours you received in group consultation. If you received these hours from more than one consultant, you need to acquire the necessary documents from the different consultants.

It is required that 10 of those hours should be for individual consultations and the remaining may be from small group consultations. The group numbers are not to be more than 8 individuals at a time. These hours pertain to the number of hours after you completed your Basic Training program.

It is necessary for you to obtain recommendation letters from the Approved Consultants which refer to your use of the service while you were consulting with them. This is required as an attachment to your EMDR certification application. Letters of recommendation are required from both your colleagues and your peers regarding your EMDR use in practice. You also have to provide certificates of completion of further education undertaken in EMDR. The number of hours of further study should not be below 12. Your completion of the Basic Training program does not qualify for this requirement. There are many approved training programs that you are able to undertake that will suffice for this requirement.
