Certification trainings
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Certified TRE Provider. We look forward to supporting you in incorporating TRE into your personal and professional life.
The TRE Global Certification Program will prepare you to teach TRE safely and professionally both in individual and group settings.
If you are seeking a somatic technique to enrich your healing practice, the program could be a good choice for you. If you are not a professional health care provider but you still want to learn how to share TRE with others, the program will give you the competencies to do so.
There are no prerequisites to enroll in the TRE Global Certification Program, but to be qualified and certified to teach TRE you need to complete the whole program and fulfill all the certification requirements. The average completion time for the program is 10-12 months.
Of the three two-day training workshops required for certification, Module 1 is open to the public and it can be taken as a personal exploration, while Module 2 and Module 3 are only open to trainees who are enrolled in the TRE Global Certification Program.
All modules are both theoretical and experiential and provide CEUs to massage therapists and body workers nationally and to LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and/or LEPs in California, as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. The whole program provides a total of 55 CEUs.
Maria’s NCBTMB CE provider number is 550. Her CAMFT-approved CE provider number is 130203.
Note
Currently, most certification trainings are held ONLINE.
