For trainees with additional qualifications – in addition to qualifying you to teach TRE as a stand alone technique the training also enables you to integrate TRE in support of your existing treatment modalities.

For trainees without additional qualifications– there are no prerequisite qualifications required to apply for the GCTP training & the certification enables you to teach TRE for general health & wellbeing to populations without any major medical or mental health conditions only.

If you are interested in applying for the Australian GCTP please sign up to the TRE Australia newsletter here & email lead trainer Emiline Duncan at admin@thenuturefoundation.com to express your interest.

Attending a 1-day introductory workshop less than 12 months before applying for the GCTP is a prerequisite to application with a list of upcoming workshops available here
