New Certification Process
Please note that for anyone now registering in the TRE Training programme, the requirements have changed and TRE Certification is no longer broken into 2 separate levels. There is one programme and you will be recognized as a fully Certified TRE Trainer at successful completion of all requirements. All those training as TRE Trainers must attend a Module 1 and a Module 2 workshop and complete the supervision requirements associated with this.-See the overview of the training process under the Certification Process Tab
If you already have your Level 1 TRE Certification, you are strongly encouraged to complete Module 2 and the associated supervision hours (details to be agreed with your supervisor). This will enable you to attend personal development conferences around the world and fully participate in the opportunities offered within global TRE community.
If you are already a Level 2 TRE Certified Trainer, you do not have to complete any further initial training and you will short be re- listed as a fully Certified TRE Trainer.
