EFT Tapping Certification- FAQ


1. How do I become a certified EFT practitioner in Australia?

To become a certified EFT practitioner in Australia, you must complete EFT Level 1 and Level 2 training with an accredited trainer, then fulfil certification requirements through EFT International.

Certification typically includes:

  • Completing Level 1 & Level 2 training

  • Documented case studies

  • Mentoring/supervision hours

  • Personal tapping sessions

  • Passing a written exam

  • Agreeing to ethical guidelines

Training with an EFT International Accredited Trainer ensures your qualification is globally recognised.

2. What is the difference between EFT Level 1 and Level 2?

EFT Level 1 teaches you how to use Tapping safely and effectively on yourself. EFT Level 2 trains you to work professionally with clients.

Level 1 focuses on:

  • The basic tapping sequence

  • Reducing stress and anxiety

  • Emotional regulation skills

Level 2 focuses on:

  • Identifying core issues

  • Trauma-informed techniques

  • Advanced practitioner skills

  • Ethical client work

If you want to become certified, both levels are required.

3. Is EFT Tapping training accredited?

Yes — when completed through an accredited trainer affiliated with EFT International.

Accredited training ensures:

  • A standardised curriculum

  • Trauma-aware methodology

  • Ethical and professional guidelines

  • International recognition

Be cautious of short, unaccredited courses that do not qualify you for certification.

4. How long does it take to become certified in EFT?

You can complete Level 1 and Level 2 training within several weeks (as in this April–May 2026 intake).

However, full certification depends on how quickly you complete:

  • Required mentoring hours

  • Case studies

  • Personal tapping sessions

  • Written exam

Most students complete certification within 6–12 months after finishing Level 2.

5. Can I do EFT training online?

Yes. Live online EFT training is fully recognised by EFT International when delivered by an accredited trainer.

Live online training allows you to:

  • Practice in breakout rooms

  • Receive real-time feedback

  • Engage in supervised exercises

  • Complete all required competencies

Pre-recorded courses alone do not qualify you for practitioner certification.

6. Do I need a psychology or counselling degree to train in EFT?

No.

You do not need prior therapy qualifications to complete Level 1 or Level 2.

However:

  • You must work within your professional scope of practice.

  • Additional qualifications may be required depending on how you intend to use EFT (e.g., clinical mental health settings).

Many students are coaches, nurses, teachers, HR professionals, or wellness practitioners.

7. Is EFT evidence-based?

Yes. Clinical EFT has a growing body of peer-reviewed research supporting its effectiveness for:

  • Anxiety

  • PTSD

  • Phobias

  • Stress reduction

  • Chronic pain

Clinical EFT differs from generic tapping because it follows structured, research-informed protocols.

8. What is Clinical EFT?

Clinical EFT refers to the evidence-informed application of Emotional Freedom Techniques used in therapeutic and professional settings.

It involves:

  • Structured protocols

  • Trauma-aware pacing

  • Measured outcome tracking

  • Ethical standards aligned with EFT International

Clinical EFT is often used by therapists, counsellors, and health professionals.

9. What techniques are taught in EFT Level 2?

Level 2 Practitioner Training includes:

  • The Movie Technique

  • Tell the Story Technique

  • Working with aspects

  • Chasing the Pain

  • Borrowing Benefits

  • Gentle trauma approaches

  • Core issue identification

These methods allow you to work safely and effectively with deeper emotional material.

10. How much can a certified EFT practitioner earn?

Income varies depending on your business model, location, and experience.

Certified practitioners may:

  • Run private sessions

  • Integrate EFT into therapy or coaching

  • Deliver corporate workshops

  • Offer online programs

  • Combine EFT with existing modalities

EFT is often used as an additional revenue stream rather than a standalone qualification initially.

11. Is EFT safe for trauma work?

EFT can be safe for trauma when delivered by properly trained practitioners who have completed Level 2 and trauma-informed training.

Without proper training, there is a risk of emotional overwhelm.

This is why accredited Level 2 training is essential before working with trauma clients.

12. When does the next EFT training start?

Level 1 (Full Days):
