Time commitment
This is an 11-month course which starts in February every academic year. The course runs weekly for 10 months on Zoom Platform from 6pm to 9pm every week during term time. You will study for 100 course contact hours over this period; but you will also need to study for 5 additional external hours per week which include several practice hours in a Training Placement (which we can assist you in finding) and client work supervision.
Additionally, because this course trains you to offer both person to person and remote therapeutic provision (OPT) you will need good internet connection, suitable technological devices, appropriate technical ability to work on-line during on-line course delivery and a private and confidential space in which to do so. However, you will be fully trained on how to conduct OPT sessions with clients and how to maintain a positive psychotherapeutic alliance when working remotely with a client on-line or via the telephone (OPT).
