EBT Providers are certified at 6 levels, each requiring more expertise in the method and offering a broader range of services to provide. The training is based on completing the program personally as well as training in the clinical application of the method. All Certified EBT Providers are part of a community of providers who contribute to the development and dissemination of these tools. They receive discounts on introductory client materials, access to promotional materials, consultation and support, seminars, cluster groups and professional DST meetings. They have the option of including their contact information on the website’s Provider Finder. All providers are members of a regional center for professional support and community. Providers begin with 14 hours of training, including 8 hours of introductory experiential training (Wired for Joy Telegroup) and 6 hours of science and clinical overview. After becoming certified at Level 1, many find they want to expand their services based on the method.
