Our MISSION is to maintain high standards of training and practice. Our VALUES are honesty, transparency, professionalism and integrity. We have worked hard to become a respectable and professional training company. We have risen to the demands by the public who are seeking a simple and affordable way to becoming certified and accredited whilst upholding high standards. Our trainers are highly skilled and qualified and some have worked within the NHS, Education, Prisons, NGOs, Support Groups etc. With so many years solid experience in the field, we are supported and endorsed by reputable organisations who value our ethos. We are recognised by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT), the National Council for Psychotherapists (NCP) and the General Regulatory Council for Complementary Therapies (GRCCT). As an independent body, we can therefore accept appropriately qualified and verified EFT and Mindfulness Practitioners and Trainers, equally and fairly. We are formally committed to aligning our EFT training with NOS (National Occupational Standards*) and have a core curriculum and syllabus that lines up with those requirements. There are many online EFT courses out there today that promise you can be qualified to help the public with their mental health problems after a weekend of training. Unfortunately, those regulating bodies are not interested. All we can do is to offer quality, professional training to maintain the credibility and respect that EFT deserves and protect the public from harm. We also offer courses in Mindfulness and EFT in Education. If you are looking for a Practitioner or Trainer from this site, you can be assured that they have been thoroughly assessed, and have signed up to Professional Codes of Conduct and Ethics as well as Continuous Professional Development and Supervision. All mindfulness practitioners and teachers adhere to the UK Mindfulness based Good Practice Guidelines. *Occupational Standards (OS) are a requirement for any therapy to be accepted within mainstream medicine. OS statements describe what an individual needs to be able to do, know and understand in order to achieve best practice. These standards are widely accepted across a broad range of health care and complementary disciplines worldwide. Contact Details Website Facebook X LinkedIn Instagram
