The Association for Psychological Therapies is a leading provider of training in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. We can bring any of the following ACT courses to your own organization and train a group of professionals for a fixed all-inclusive fee, no matter where you are. All of the training is accredited by APT and delegates receive the relevant level of APT’s accreditation on completing the course(s) as well as APT's downloadable resources.
ACT Essentials (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy).
A 3-day course.
'Once in a while there is a unique contribution to psychotherapy.'
ACT adopts a new strategy that moves away from the 'rational strategies of behavior and thought change' that many people have tried and failed with. Focusing mainly on how people understand and perpetuate their difficulties through language, ACT concentrates on exciting interventions based on metaphor and paradox, with experiential exercises to show how to break free of language traps, overcome common behavioral problems and enhance life satisfaction.
APT's exam in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Available to everybody.
This exam is available free of charge to those who have attended the APT course ACT Essentials, and for a fee to those who have attended similar training from another provider.
It is a web based exam with a high pass mark of 85% and gains you Level 2 in APT accreditation of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. If you don't pass first time you can review the course material and sit it again.
The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Masterclass.
A 3-day course.
This course is available Onsite (we come to you and deliver it to a group of up to 15 delegates).
This is a course for people who have at least 6 months practice subsequent to receiving Level 3 APT-Accreditation (often much more). In lectures, the masterclass provides more depth on some of the topics in the Essentials course but is mainly focused on developing skill, based around the following components: listening to and making case presentations, watching video demos by others, role-play/real-play where you interview others and they interview you, and establishing a stable system for support and development for yourself in this area post course. The result is that you enhance your skill and technique, not just your knowledge. Successful completion also gains you APT's Level 4 accreditation in the subject.
