Training in Cogntive Behavioural Therapy / Training

Did you know that most training courses in therapy in the UK are completely independent and not acredited to national standards? We are different!

Our associates at Stonebridge Associated Colleges now offer our CBT training course. This is an ASET level 5 accredited course via distance learning. There are also modules of practical training available for those who need them.

CBT is a widely used form of therapy and is referred to as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Cognitive Behavioural Training. It also contains a variety of sub-therapies including Stress Innoculation Therapy.

Other forms of CBT are life coaching, NLP and teaching self help methods life self hypnosis.

The ASET level 5 accredited course provides a full training package covering all the aspects of CBT you need for professional practice. You can then practice any skills that you feel you need "hands on" training in by choosing from a range of training workshops.

 
National Occupational Standards

The NOS National Occupational Standards are the standards that apply to practice of therapy by therapists in the UK. A good training course will attempt to prepare the graduate for adherence to these standards. The ASET level 5 award in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is written so as to enable the student to understand and meet the NOS Counselling (1995), and be able to understand and adhere to subsequent NOS updates.

What is accredited Vocational Learning?

We strongly recommend completing an accredited course that is either itself recognised  (National Qualification  Matrix) through QCA (Qualification Curriculum Authority) or SQC (Scottish Qualification Authority), or is awarded by an QCA / SQA approved awarding body. 

Some awards, such as NVQ awards are directly recognised. Others are accredited by awarding bodies who are themselves accredited as awarding bodies by QCA / SQA. The first type tend to be general awards, the second type tend to be more specific awards. Either route of accreditation means that the award is accredited to nationally recognised standards, as opposed to the variety of unregulated awards available in the independent unaccredited sector.

One of the leading accredited awarding bodies is ASET. We work with Stonebridge Associated Colleges (SAC), an ASET accredited centre to provide accredited awards in the therapy industry. 

With Stonebridge you can complete your studies via distance learning, and make use of practical training modules if you wish via a sister organisation ( www.societytherapistscoaches.co.uk ) .

With Stonebridge you can complete ASET accredited awards at levels 3, 4 or 5. This enables you to complete a fully accredited course to real national standards at an appropriate level. You can then choose the practical modules of training you need to ensure competence. Modules are provided according to need, since practicing therapists often do not need any practical training for accreditation, wheras a new graduate may feel the need for extensive more practical work. Thus a flexible approach is offered with each module carrying a certificate of completion to add to the student's portfolio. There is a high emphasis on knowledge of and adherence to the NOS National Occupational Standards for therapies.

In addition Stonebridge provides sound advice regarding practical practice groups and "hands on" practicing of skills.

In other words it is fine to gain knowledge and accreditation via distance learning, but you are advised to gain some hands on practice locally too, partly to learn application, and partly to gain confidence in your skills and knowledge.

It is usually far cheaper, and far better value all round to complete your training via properly accredited distance learning, and then practice these skills in local study groups (often free or contribution based) or with short training modules. Training traditionally entirely in the classroom is by far the most expensive option, and often is less well accredited.


Stonebridge are also engaged in adapting and modifying courses on an ongoing basis to ensure that as they develop, NOS National Occupational Standards are incorporated into training courses.
