Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)

Description

The Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is awarded by the Institute of Counselling. Each of the two modules within this diploma have been accredited independently with 20 points each at SCQF Level 8 (Second year BA/BSc level) by the University of the West of Scotland (UWS).

This course is likely to benefit from someone probably already with a counselling background who wishes to extend their knowledge by studying a therapeutic approach. CBT has currently great popularity in organisations such as the NHS and has been used to good effect by occupational health functions in Managing Absence at Work.

What you will learn

In Module 1 (Course UW 100) the student will be introduced to CBT, at the heart of which is the ABC model. They will also study the triadic structure, the role of automatic thoughts and beliefs, and the need to challenge erroneous thought patterns through applying CBT techniques and strategies. The course demonstrates how CBT can be used to effectively work with issues of depression, anxiety, fears, phobias and anger.

In Module 2 (Course UW 101) work will build on module 1 to further enhance skills. Emphasis is on the development of self-awareness and critical reflections and knowledge of CBT. Working with beginnings, middles and endings as a therapeutic process is investigated within the context of working with clients. Developing a professional and ethical practice is at the heart of this course.

The course materials made sense and explained what was required throughout. My tutor (Marie Murphy) was really engaging throughout and very supportive when I asked questions and probed into next steps etc. If/when I sign up for my next course I would ask for Marie to be my tutor again.

Response : Thank you for your review Denise, we are very pleased to hear that you found your learning experience on this course to be rich, informative and to have provided you with good training. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your learning journey and your work with Marie.
I enjoyed the course in the main but feel the materials could be condensed. Assessment criteria could be placed in a separate document to ensure course requirements were easily understood at the onset. I achieved my personal aim by undertaking this CPD course as an addition to my counselling qualifications and have secured employment in the field.

Initially I was not sure how useful an online course would be . I was living and working abroad at the time,so studying remotely was the only way of gaining a recognised qualification. I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting and challenging and informative the course was .
