How will the Certificate help me?
The Certificate is an introductory 12 week course, which appeals to a wide range of people eg:
- those who work with clients in various disciplines who wish to develop new helping skills using CBT
- those who wish to add to their existing skills and knowledge (eg mental health professionals)
- those who are thinking about a career as a CBT therapist
- those who are working towards professional accreditation and wish to acquire recognised hours of theory and skills (the Certificate provides 91 hours of CBT theory and skills which can be used to work towards professional accreditation)
As with all short courses, none are professionally accredited by professional organisations and this includes our own Certificate Course. It does however provide invaluable recognised hours that will contribute to professional accreditation.
The four core units are:
- The Basics of Cognitive Therapy, including the Alliance and Interpersonal Processes.
- Understanding Anxiety Disorders and Depression.
- Cognitive Interventions and Underpinning Theory.
- CT Structure, Homework and Note-Taking.
