2017 Certification Training
(as per TRE Australia)

Completion of the 2017 Australian Global Certification Training Program (GCTP) provides qualification as an internationally recognised ‘Certified TRE Provider,’ enabling you to teach TRE professionally to individuals and groups. (see below for the Certification Training Summary, pre-requisites & costs)

For trainees with relevant additional qualifications, the certification will also qualify you to provide facilitations and/or use TRE within the scope of and in support of your existing treatment modalities.

For trainees without additional health qualifications, the certification training qualifies you to teach TRE for general health & wellbeing only to populations without any medical or mental health conditions and not as a treatment or therapy for any medical or mental health conditions.

Pre-requisites to enrolment: 
the pre-requisites to application for the Certification Training Program are:

- attendance at a 2 day personal use workshop no more than 6 months prior  
  to attending a Module 1 training workshop*
- ongoing regular personal practice of TRE since the personal-use workshop (2
  days),

- a minimum of 1 month journaling your personal practice prior to your pre-
  enrolment interview,

- submission of your journal summary & pre-enrolment form & a half hour pre-
  enrolment interview with your chosen Certification Trainer.

Choosing a Certification Trainer: there are 2 Certification Trainers offering the GCTP in Australia: Richmond Heath and Jelka Slapar. After attending a pre-requisite 2 day personal-use workshop (which can be lead by either trainer) trainees choose one of the trainers to apply to undertake their GCTP training with.

Provisional Professional Practice (PPP): trainees with relevant pre-existing professional qualifications who are a member of a professional association and are able to justify that the teaching of TRE (to individuals only) within the scope of their existing qualification and professional indemnity insurance are able to apply for a Provisional Professional Practice (PPP) certificate once they have reached competency to teach individuals and completed a minimum of 7 supervision hours. The PPP will be valid from the date of issue to a maximum of 12 months after the Module 2 workshop, during which time the trainee must complete the remainder of their training. 

Existing TRE Providers: existing Level 1 & Level 2 TRE Providers are able to further their training by entering the 2017 GCTP program at the relevant stage of the program and completing all the training requirements from that point onwards. For full details, please download the 2017 GCTP Log Book [coming soon] & contact your certification trainer.

2015 & 2016 GCTP trainees: existing trainees from 2015 & 2016 intake periods will continue their training according to the 2016 GCTP Certification Training Program, as long as they complete their training within the designated time frames. If the training is not completed within the required time frames you will be required to transfer your training into the 2017 format.
