Furthermore, the COSCA Certificate in Counselling Skills has the potential to change participant’s lives due to the significant self-awareness aspect that it contains.

It contains 4 modules and each module is 5 weeks in length for the day course or 10 weeks in length for evening course. The course will be delivered from 9.30-4.30 for day course and 6pm until 9pm for evening. the dates are outlined below:

Review

Currently I am studying the second year of the Diploma in CBT with ACT. This is a great course and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in working as a CBT therapist. This course gives you the tools to become a confident CBT therapist. During the skills Practice, we work in triad or quads (listener/speaker and observers) and we learn how to use a CBT tool for first time on a current problem bothering the speaker. There is a clinical observer who will help the listener if they are struggling with the tool. The tutors are...

In my final year of CBT diploma due to complete by June 2020 and What an amazing journey this has been.

I have worked in the counselling/therapy field for over 25 years primarily developing and managing services. In the last couple of years, based on feedback and the recommendations from colleagues I have attended ACT for a variety of courses, including, CBT course, Schema Therapy and I have recently completed the Diploma in CBT and I can say I have not been disappointed in any of the training; whether it’s been a one day or two-year course. ACT would be my first stop service to access any training requirements either for personal reasons or on behalf of the services I manage....

'ACT Counselling Services deliver training of excellent quality. My decision to attend the PG Dip Level Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Groupwork has been one of the most important decisions of my life.

A variety of teaching methods are used, such as power points, live demonstration of CBT skills and pair/group activities. Tutors' examples from their own professional practice enrich the theoretical inputs. In the supportive...

I would give my highest recommendation for this course. It was probably one of the most interesting and rewarding experiences of my life. I felt I was a member of this community from day one, supported step by step even after the end of the course. It was a rich, life-changing, learning experience. I met wonderful people, who became my friends. Grateful.
