If you are currently practicing as a Clinical Resource Therapist, or you have completed a Clinical Qualification in Ego State Therapy (previously called Diploma of EST with Professor Emmerson) and would like to upgrade your skills and knowledge in Resource Therapy, you may wish to attend the dual certificate program currently available as a 5-Day live-online or in-house f2f training: Advanced Clinical Certification & RT Trainer Qualification program.

This is the team of Senior Level (SL) Board-approved trainers who will take you through the highest level of training at the next available Advanced Clinical and RT Trainer program. They are also the only SL trainers on the Board of the Resource Therapy International Association.
