"Enjoyed course - feel I have benefited hugely from it and look forward to putting into practice what I have learned."
Joan Daly, Social Care Leader
"The course was well presented, encouragement from the tutor which enabled others to be involved in all topics covered. It was not a slide presentation without a detailed explanation. I will recommend that others should be able to access this training. It has given me good knowledge and different ways of looking at assessment of a client and new ways to get them involved in their treatment."
Victoria Cole, Nurse

"Very interesting course, enabling in-depth knowledge in the basic principles of CBT and initiating practice of it. Lots of useful new material presented in a way that was easy to understand and in a setting which was comfortable for asking questions and gaining better understanding. I feel that this has set a good foundation for practicing CBT with some of the clients that are referred to APU. Looking forward to the next module!"
Ann Duncan, RMN

Extended Training in CBT.
66 hours.
Providing 66 hours of training, this training has a flexible structure that allows you to tailor the content to the group needs. Successful completion leads to APT’s Level 4 accreditation.
The way the system works is that you choose one course from each of three Groups A, B and C, and also attend The CBT Masterclass, making a total of four courses. Three of the courses will be 3-day courses, whereas Group C courses are 2-days, so it is a total of 11 days. The format whereby you choose your first three courses ensures that you have a good degree of ‘personalisation’ and the groupings of the courses ensures equally that you obtain a good ‘across the board’ coverage of CBT approaches in different areas.
