All trainings are taught in 14 hours over 2 days, with a 15-minute morning break, a half-hour lunch break,
and a 15-minute afternoon break.

Please Note : This is an EMDR Europe Accredited Child & Adolescent Training. As an accredited training, 100 % attendance on this training is required (as set by EMDR Europe). If you cannot attend any part of this training, for any reason, you will not be able to complete this training.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA For Level 2. (Advanced) EMDR Child & Adolescent Training with he Child Trauma Therapy Centre:

  • Completion of a Europe-Accredited Generic EMDR Training – Part 2/Level 2. (Proof of completion is required.) If you have completed an EMDR training with a non-EMDR Europe-Accredited Generic Training, please email us with your training details before you book this training.
  • Completion of a Europe-Accredited Level 1 Core Child & Adolescent Training. (Proof of completion is required.)
  • A minimum of at least 2-3 months since completing Level 1 (Core) Child & Adolescent EMDR Training is required before attending the Level 2 (Advanced) Child & Adolescent EMDR Training, to allow assimilation and practice of the modifications taught on Level 1 (Core) Child & Adolescent EMDR Training.
  • Used an EMDR Child & Adolescent specific modification (taught on the Level 1 (Core) Child & Adolescent Training) with at least 2 clients under the age of 18 (or, for those working with adult clients with intellectual / learning difficulties, this must have been appropriate for the developmental and emotional age / stage of that adult client).
  • Currently getting (or preparing to get) consultation with a Europe-Accredited EMDR Child & Adolescent Consultant (if working with children and adolescents under the age of 18 – or adults where the application of the EMDR child & adolescent modifications is a requirement).

PLEASE NOTE: (For applicants whose National EMDR Association is NOT EMDR-UK):

  • If your EMDR National Association is NOT EMDR-UK and you meet all other eligibility criteria (above) for this training, you are welcome to book onto this training – however, the Child Trauma Therapy Centre Ltd. is required by EMDR Europe to recommend you contact the EMDR National Association the country you deliver (or are trained to deliver) therapy in, to ensure you would meet their criteria for being eligible for accreditation.
  • This is not because of training standards across EMDR Europe Accredited Trainings – this is because different countries have different eligibility criteria for becoming accredited, with some countries restricting EMDR training to those with Master’s level qualifications or to certain professions only. For this reason, if you are planning on joining your National EMDR Association and pursuing accreditation in another country, please check with them first.

The cost for the 2-day training is £330. An additional £66 for VAT will be charged to those living in the UK (England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland). If you live outside the UK, you will not be charged VAT.

If you’ve taken our Level 2 training in the past (with Susan Darker-Smith) you may retake this training as a ‘refresher’ for half price. Click below to request a coupon code.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. EMDR Europe requires completion of the generic EMDR training. If you believe you have special circumstances that merit an exception to this, please email us.

No. EMDR-accredited trainings do not receive CPD points.

No. We email attendees a PDF of the handout a few days before the training. If you want a hard copy, you’re welcome to print it out. If you do not have a print, email us. If requested, we can mail you a hard copy for a charge.

Immediately after you complete the Level 2 training, we’ll email a link to an online form with a few posttest questions and a few evaluation questions. When you submit the completed form you’ll be able to immediately download your certificate.

You must get at least 60% of the posttest questions right. If your test score is lower, retake the test.

We email the Zoom link and handout about 5 days prior to the training. If you have not received this email within 5 days of the training, check your spam folder. If it’s not there, email us.

Look for in-person trainings to be scheduled in 2026.

Both formats cover the same content. For the online training, practicums take place in virtual break-out rooms. A facilitator will periodically check in. During in-person training practicums, everyone is in the same room.

Online trainings do not require expensive travel. It’s easier to manage a work-life balance and childcare responsibilities. Attendees with special dietary, medical, or disability needs have more flexibility. Those with noise sensitivities may find online trainings easier to tolerate. In-person trainings offer the benefit of networking and being able to physically move around during the lecture and videos.
