Course Overview

Cognitive & Behavioural Therapies: High-Intensity Training is a rigorous, challenging, and highly rewarding clinical skills training course.

You will be trained in the use of empirically supported treatments, observe expert clinical demonstrations, and receive constructive feedback on your developing clinical competence.

You will also have the opportunity to develop the research competencies required to ensure that your clinical interventions are based on the best available scientific evidence.

Upon successful completion of the course, you will have satisfied the requirements of BABCP minimum training standards, and be eligible to apply for BABCP accreditation.

Successful completion of the PG Dip makes individuals eligible to apply for BABCP accreditation as a cognitive behavioral psychotherapist. The vast majority of successful completers gain employment as High-Intensity therapists within IAPT services.

We are here to help you plan your future, make the most of your time at University, and to enhance your employability. We provide access to part-time jobs, and extra-curricular employability-enhancing workshops and offer practical one-to-one help with career planning, including help with CVs, applications, and mock interviews. We also deliver group sessions on career planning within each course and we have a wide range of extensive information covering graduate jobs and postgraduate study.

Students and graduates of the University of Chester can use our services free of charge for up to two years after graduating.

General Eligibility

Before you apply, please note the program is for experienced mental health professionals with a placement in an IAPT service, and clinical experience working within adult IAPT services. We anticipate the vast majority of places to be NHS England-funded training posts – these are often advertised on NHS jobs.

Applicants will:

have a core professional training in mental health (normally with a science-based honors degree), or demonstrate eligibility through the BABCP Knowledge, Skills & Attitudes pathway

have a minimum of one day a week in face-to-face therapy practice in an IAPT service in the role of high-intensity trainee

have in place suitable BABCP-accredited supervision arrangements.
