General Notes About Our Training Syllabus
As a result of over 40 combined years using and teaching EFT, we know what it takes to get the best possible results with EFT, and also how best to help people absorb and apply what we teach.
To make this possible, our trainings have been enhanced beyond the core EFT International Syllabus (the organisation with which we accredit potentially EFT practitioners).
We teach an enhanced syllabus for all our EFT trainings which includes both the EFT International Syllabus and our own EFT Training Syllabus. You will see these are shown separately below.
The syllabus elements is covered or expanded upon in the provided EFT Level 1 manual. Participants are strongly encouraged to read the extensive manual after the training as it deepens into the material covered but also gives much useful information outside the syllabus.
Note: The EFT Training College reserves the right to make changes to syllabus elements and their order at any time.
EFT Level 1 Syllabus
Our EFT Level 1 syllabus is composed of the Everyday EFT Tapping Full Course ("Introduction to EFT") which is done on the first day of the EFT Level 1 training (or two half days) plus two more full days of training. The syllabus elements listed below are covered across those two days.EFT Level 1 - Days 2 and 3 Syllabus
Notes
Duration: 14 hours taken as 2 days or 4 x half days.

EFT International Syllabus
Additional Points, Strategies, and The “Your Point” Concept:
Know that there are additional points and strategies that can be used when needed, and under what circumstances they may be useful.
Handling Excessive Emotional Intensity:
Know how to use calming techniques effectively (continuous tapping, no talking, going global, and so on) when emotional intensity is high.
Cognitive Shifts:
Recognise cognitive shifts and understand the importance of allowing these to arise from the client, rather than pushing cognitive changes in a session.
The Movie Title Technique / Tell the Story Technique and Introduction to Trauma:
Have a brief overview of how traumatic experience affects the body (big “T” and little “t” traumas).
Know how to do the Movie Title Technique and how it is used for protective distancing, thorough exploration (slowing things down, working with each emotional crescendo), and neutralising the effects of past troubling memories at the "overview" / macro level. Trauma specialisation requires extensive skill and experience; emphasising safety over all.
Learn how to do the Tell the Story Technique which is a powerful technique for gently addressing the deep / fine aspects of Significant Emotional Experiences / Traumas, as well as identifying the beliefs and vows created from such experiences.
EFT for Physical Issues:
Ask whether the person has received medical attention for this. Apply EFT to the symptoms as well as the emotional contributors of physical issues. Ask curious questions to discern relevant Aspects. Describe and use Chasing the Pain (follow the most intense Aspects of pain as they move around the body).
EFT for Cravings:
Apply EFT to cravings to gain a degree of control and relief. Consider the role of Aspects. Understand that deeper emotional issues are usually involved and the craving is the tip of the iceberg.
Confidentiality and Healthy Boundaries:
Understand the importance of healthy boundaries and confidentiality, particularly with friends and family: the authority of the facilitator role ends when the EFT session is over.
The EFT Training College Additional Syllabus
The “Safe and Comfortable Strategy” for EFT Sessions:
Learn a powerful philosophy and strategy to follow as a client is guided through an EFT session flow. Understand how this dramatically reduces the chances of activating overwhelming trauma and discomfort, thereby making it safe to address particularly upsetting issues safely and very efficiently, whilst reducing the likelihood of resistance.
The concept of “Significant Emotional Experiences” (SEEs):
Understanding that any significant past experience can have far reaching effects – not only strongly traumatic ones. Hear an example of how even a strongly positive experience can be a significant turning point, resulting in a major issue.
The Paint Brush Cleaning Metaphor:
Learn a metaphor that helps give deep clarity around the huge different between surface (or “overhead”) clearing of a SEE or trauma and a deep clearing – this being a key reason why upset around a past event may keep returning despite healing work.
Beliefs and Vows (creators of our Subjective Reality):
Learn how many beliefs and vows are created from early SEEs and traumas, how to identify them and then how to use EFT to clear them.
The “Unknown Story Clearing Technique”:
Learn a simple but powerful technique to identify and treat the deep aspects and created beliefs from a past traumatic story where the details are unknown – for example a pre-verbal or even in-utero experience.

EFT International Syllabus
The Apex Effect:
Recognise and describe the Apex Effect – when shifts have occurred so quickly the client denies EFT has had anything to do with it, or beliefs there couldn’t have been any problem to begin with!
Quality Detective Work:
Ask compassionate, curious questions to uncover Aspects, especially when intensity is no longer dropping or progress is stalled. Explore the relationship between thoughts, the emotions that follow, and where those emotions are felt in the body. Be mindful of relationship boundaries when working with friends and family.
EFT for Self-Care:
The Personal Peace Procedure: Understand the importance of persistent, consistent self-care work with EFT. Know how to begin the Personal Peace Procedure (pick 5 troubling memories or titles to start).
Limitations to Level 1 Competency:
Know the limits of Level 1: mainly use EFT with self, friends and family. Level 1 is an introduction to foundational skills, and further study is highly recommended. The complexity of an issue can require a higher skill-set.
When EFT Doesn’t Work (Part 2):
Troubleshoot additional reasons why EFT make not be working, and what you can do to make progress.
