What you should know


Only Registered AAMET Trainers may give AAMET Approved EFT Level 1, 2 and 3 courses. Any EFT training courses that are given outside this structure are not recognised by the AAMET.


Any students who attend non-AAMET recognised EFT Level 1,2 and 3 courses will not be able to list themselves on the AAMET website as being AAMET EFT Practitioners at any Level.


However, if you have been trained in EFT elsewhere you can still be listed on the AAMET website under “Other Therapist” (We may change this title). The Training Team at training@aamet.org welcomes enquiries from anyone interested in be- coming an AAMET Practitioner/Trainer.


•All advertised training courses should bear the name of the Tutor/ Trainer delivering the course.


•All advertised courses should ex- plain fully to students in advance of any training:


1.The name(s) of the course Tutor(s)


2.Any qualifications gained upon course completion 3.The fee levels 4.Precise terms of payment


5.Any charges which might be imposed for non-attendance or cancellation of any course or part of a course. Such expla- nation must also include statements quantifying the trainer’s liability in the event of the trainer cancelling a course or part of a course.


Trainers have until 30th September to register with the AAMET, other- wise they cannot claim to be or advertise as an AAMET Trainer.


USEFUL INFORMATION FOR PRACTITIONERS


If you're a Practitioner and have sufficient knowledge and experi- ence of EFT, then it's perfectly acceptable for you to deliver an in- troductory workshop to spread the word and help promote your services. I recommend that you do this when you’re insured – discounted insurance in the UK is available through www.AAMET. org or the www.EFTRegister.com.


An introductory workshop usually lasts between 1½ and 2½ hours. Presentation material for introductory workshops is free when you join the EFT Register as a Featured Lister.


You can use PowerPoint presentations, flipcharts or just present verbally on what EFT is, how it works, who uses it, what it can be used on, and so on. Don’t forget to include a demonstration! Showing how it works will get you the audience ‘buy in’ and it doesn’t have to be difficult. Ask who has a phobia about something and select the easiest one to work on. Never claim to be able to cure their phobia or any problem, but say "let's try it out and see what happens." This takes the pressure off you and keeps the audience captivated.


Another good demonstration is ‘borrowing benefits’ on a craving but make sure you have a supply of chocolate or crisps on hand. This always goes down well and I’ve had three or four people out front with the rest of the audience borrowing the benefits but you may be comfortable with one.


Make a note of the attendees names and email addresses, hand out your leaflets, business cards or sell books on EFT. Don't be too disappointed if you don’t hear from anyone immediately - I’ve had people contact me years after I gave a demonstration so don’t give up. How much you charge is up to you but obviously make sure you’ve covered room hire, refreshments and other expenses. Offer to visit their premises and only charge for your travelling ex- penses, perhaps. I’ve travelled an 80 mile round trip to give a free introductory workshop and wasn’t even offered a drink of water, yet on another occasion I gave a workshop just up the road and was presented a beautiful display of flowers and a bottle of wine in gratitude!


Ask an ‘EFT Buddy’ to partner you or ask someone to sit in on a rehearsal so you can get feedback. When you’re ready, offer a workshop at your local library, to ladies’ circles, the Women’s Institute, mother and baby groups and business groups. There are a host of opportunities out there – just go for it and good luck!
