How Our EMDR Courses Work

Do I need to be online at a specific time?

You don't need to be online at a specific time! You can log in and out at a time that suits you and learn at your own pace.

If your course has a forum, trainers will be online throughout the week to answer questions, but please allow a couple of days for your questions to be answered.


What happens if I miss a week or fall behind?

All our courses are self-paced. If you miss a week, or fall behind, don't worry. You can catch up at a time that suits you!

Each course has 12 months access, and this bonus time can be used to catch up on any missed work. You can find out when your course access finishes by looking in "My Dashboard."

If you are experiencing extenuating circumstances, you may be eligible for a deferral. Please contact us via the chat icon on the bottom right-hand corner of the website or via email at support@psychwire.com.


How do your courses work?

Courses with Expert Support:

Our EMDR courses run on intakes and have scheduled start dates throughout the year.

The first week of course material is released at midnight PST on course start date. You'll receive a welcome email with information on how to log in and get started. Each subsequent week, new content is released, with the learning experiences designed to be completed sequentially (no skipping ahead!), allowing you time to practice new skills as you learn.  

Throughout the course, you can log into your Psychwire account from anywhere, at any time, allowing you to learn at your own pace. There's no need to be online at a specific time but we recommend setting aside 2 - 3 hours per week, depending on your course, to stay up to date.

Expert support is provided through our interactive online forum. You'll be able to ask questions and share experiences with expert trainers and your fellow course participants. You'll also have access to the course library filled with additional resources, and bonus content designed to enrich your learning experience.

You'll have access to this content for 12 months. You can use this time to catch up on the course or dig deeper into some of the topics we have covered. The course card in My Dashboard will let you know how much course access you still have available.

Self-Directed:

The self-directed courses contain modules that are designed to provide the best possible learning experience, which is why the course must be completed in sequential order and no skipping ahead! Each module includes a mix of carefully selected video lessons, engaging animations, commentary and interactive quizzes, featuring practitioners from a range of backgrounds, working in diverse settings. To navigate around the course simply click 'Next' or 'Back' as you complete each exercise or select the module you wish to view from the navigation menu on the left-hand side.

When you have completed the entire course you are free to go back and re-explore previous modules. You can revisit sections that you found particularly useful, or return to practice a specific skill that you wish to master before you try it out in your practice.

You’ll also access a comprehensive library of resources and readings to delve more deeply into areas of interest

Once you have completed your purchase, you will gain immediate access to your course and can get started right away.  There is no need to be online at specific times so you can feel free to complete the course whenever is convenient for you.
