You register and begin whenever it suits your diary and when the workshop is completed and you have submitted the relevant questionnaire you will be sent a certificate for your records. Some of our self-study workshops offer personalised feedback on submissions which invite you to focus on where more research may be helpful.
We also offer workshops on subjects such as Creative Writing, Trauma and our Essential Online Supervision Skills. Dates and fees will be added and published in our newsletter.
Our tutor-led training meets ACTO Membership Levels 2 and 3.
Our specialist Diploma in Online Therapeutic Supervision is aimed at online professionals who wish to provide or already provide online supervision. It will explore models and theories that developed for face-to-face supervision and also identify the differences between face to face and online supervision.
Throughout the course, students develop specific models for online supervision based on their own experience, models and theories. At the end, you will have gained a robust qualification validated by CPCAB which explores how both new and older models can be skillfully used to inform the supervisory process both online and face to face.
During the taught part of the course, there are weekly discussion meetings using meeting platforms which are held on Friday mornings 9.00 – 10.30 am. These meetings, together with online supervision of supervision meetings, are mandatory.
Students present required pieces of work for assessment by the tutors as an online portfolio. It is anticipated that you will spend 10 hours a week on this Course.

An in depth and supportively challenging programme. I thoroughly recommend it. I’m very experienced in the online world, I thought, every week was huge learning. Fabulous! The extra awareness and skill to move into effective therapeutic relationship possibilities is awesome.
