TRE London 2024

Train as a Certified TRE® Provider in One Year

TRE College is excited to offer a new, fast-track, immersive program to learn to safely teach Tension and Trauma Exercises in one year.

This programme will equip you to safely guide clients and groups through TREs innovative series of exercises, to support the body to release deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma.

How will the one year course work?

The new model offers a much clearer structure to support students through the certification program, with fixed deadlines for completion of home study and supervision. (You will also only need to pay once, at the start of the training) Go to Course Fees

The training includes:

• Two three day modules, London Go to Venue
• Six group supervisions, Online
• Seven 1:1 supervisions, Online
• Feedback on assessments

Why has the TRE training format changed?

In November 2022 TRE for All, Inc (the worldwide governing body for TRE) updated the guidance for TRE Certification Trainings. In the old model of certification training there were a range of three two day modules that could be attended and supervision was self organised. Unfortunately the flexibility meant that many keen students struggled to complete competencies on time and ended up not graduating,

In the new model there are two three day modules and significant parts of supervision is done via group supervision on predetermined dates. The 1:1 supervision is still self organised, but the landmarks and timeframe are much more focused.

Who can train?

There will be an expectation of some existing skills and training as therapist or teacher. Candidates will be expected to have already had sustained practice of TRE and had some one to one sessions with a Certified TRE Provider.

There will be a pre course interview to discuss your suitability to train as a Certified TRE Provider. The interview is an important part of being accepted onto the training. The interview will be used to help screen out people who may not be ready to learn to teach TRE.

When considering the course it is essential you consult your diary to check you can attend the scheduled modules, fit in the required number of group supervisions from the predetermined list and book individual 1:1 personal TRE and final certification sessions on the predetermined days with the Primary CT. After Module 1 you will need to plan 1:1 supervision sessions with your Assigned TRE Mentor, 1:1 supervision sessions are offered as part of their normal clinic practice hours, these are not usually at weekends or evenings.

Please also reflect on your willingness to deepen into your personal TRE practice and complete the written Assessments on time.

TRE London 2024 Training Timeline

Below is the schedule of predetermined events for the course. If we have more than the minimum number of trainees required to run the course there will be extra supervision sessions and extra TRE Mentors added to the training program.

In organising the training we really want to keep to the advertised schedule. Sometimes unforeseen things happen, so we reserve the right to change the dates. In the unlikely event of needing to change event dates (supervision groups are more likely to change than modules or final certification dates) we will give as much warning as possible.

You need to book six group supervision sessions during the year of the course, there are many possible groups to choose from run by the teaching team. Please spread out your bookings over the lifecycle of the course. In the first half of the course please try to book groups with your Assigned TRE Mentor.

The trainee needs to read the required literature and watch DVDs.

Summary of Supervision Events

A total of four 'personal TRE' supervision sessions are required.

You will need to complete 40 Hours of Journaling TRE Practice as part of your personal TRE journey.

• Final Certification Session: The trainee must complete one final certification session with the Primary or Secondary CT between 11-12 months after the start of the course.
• Extra Supervision: Supervision is an ongoing negotiation depending on your existing skills, your study progress and time taken to complete assessments. The completion of the above minimum requirements does not guarantee you will be graduate as a Certified TRE Provider. Sometimes it becomes clear that personal process or teaching skills need more time. This will be decided in agreement with the Primary CT. If more time is needed the first step to continuing your study will be a minimum of four extra 1:1 supervision sessions charged at the hourly rate of your Assigned TRE Mentor.

Timings and Glossary

• Timings: The certification process is scheduled to take between 11-12 months. TRE events attended prior to Module 1 (3 day) do not contribute to the certification process (N.B.
