EMDR Training for Clinicians
The EMDR Center of Canada offers an EMDRIA approved comprehensive Basic Training in EMDR Therapy that includes:
advanced EMDR protocols and concepts
all ten hours of required consultation
four, three-day training sessions over three months for our virtual trainings
small class sizes
one all-inclusive fee
one comprehensive program
Four training sessions are spread over a twelve-week period. Each training session is spaced three to five weeks apart to provide time to practice new skills and study course readings.
Spacing out the training helps with reinforcing and integrating learning. Clinicians have the opportunity to utilize what is being learned and then receive feedback on procedural skills to ensure they are being applied correctly.
Other trainings typically compress the Basic Training into two sessions.
Research on learning and training shows that “After two days of training, your ability to retain new information drops quickly.”
Therefore, dividing the training into four training sessions allows for optimal learning, development and integration of the material.
EMDRIA requires a minimum of 10 hours of consultation, 20 hours of lecture, and 20 hours of practice.

Our training is an EMDRIA approved program and it exceeds EMDRIA's requirements.
Our Virtual Training includes:
12 days of training (6 hours each day)
36.5 hours of lecture
21.75 hours of practice
13.75 hours of consultation
Beginning January 1, 2023 participants who begin the EMDR training both virtually and in-person must complete the entire training within 12 months from their initial start date unless there are extraordinary circumstances.
