How many CPD credits can I ask for?

A full day event can earn a maximum of six CPD credits.

Can support or supervision groups be awarded CPD credits?

No, support or supervision groups are not eligible for CPD credits.

What happens after I’ve applied?

The Accreditation Committee will consider all applications by email or at a committee meeting. You will be notified of the Committee’s decision by email.

If your application is successful, you may then include the EMDR Europe logo and number of CPD credits awarded on your event’s documentation.

Events awarded CPD credits must be evaluated by participants in writing and a summary of the evaluations submitted to the Accreditation Committee representative.

Repeat events will be awarded CPD credits only on receipt of satisfactory evaluations from the previous event.
