Live Online Learning
Recognizing the vast need for TRE and its worldwide potential, we worked with TFA (TRE’s governing body) and TRE’s founder, Dr. David Bercelli, in 2020 to develop and pilot TRE’s first online certification courses. That way anyone anywhere can be trained and certified to become a TRE Provider.
Our team has many years of experience with online training, having developed and delivered university-accredited professional development and certification courses to thousands of students in over 22 countries. By learning in the privacy of your own home we can mirror and in many ways exceed what you would receive in an in-person training.
Bonus! Video Sessions with Dr Berceli
While Dr Berceli is now retired, we are honored that he allowed us to record and provide his lectures as enrichment for our trainings. These 14 recordings include his latest insights into the art and science of this practice.
In addition to providing you with a powerful training experience from the founder of TRE, these videos will also be made available to you after the training so that you may review, refresh and deepen your understanding of TRE.
