The Training Program
Level One is the first level of a Two level training program in Transpersonal and Emotional Release Counselling. Level One is a 60 day program spread over a 12month period. The training is conducted in live-in intensives usually of 5 to 8 days duration. The training delivery is experiential with Level One placing a strong emphasis on the personal journey of the trainee. Trainees learn in a supportive environment where they will have the opportunity to observe, learn, do, reflect, and thus develop a base of knowledge grounded in their own and the group’s experience. Level one supports the development of theory and practice in core modalities of TERC to the level of being able to support other trainees proficiently. Level One is a pre-requisite for entry to Level Two. Successful graduates of both Levels One and Two, that have also completed the client contact and supervision hours will be eligible to apply for full membership to the Association of Transpersonal and Emotional Release Counsellors Inc (ATERC).
