Professional accreditation
This course is accredited by:
- Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
- British Psychological Society (BPS)
We are currently working towards three accreditation pathways embedded within the Programme: Neuropsychology, Systemic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Whilst we are waiting to gain accreditation, our programme already has extensive teaching in CBT and Systemic Therapy. Many of our trainees have successfully applied for BABCP accreditation independently upon completion of our programme. The Neuropsychology pathway is already in place, with current trainees being able to utilise existing placement hours and course learning towards further accredited Neuropsychology training at Bristol University.
Within the next academic year, we are aiming to gain accreditation from AFT (Association for Family Therapy and Systemic Practice) at Intermediate Level and BABCP (British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy) at Level 2, which will grant you access to apply for Provisional Accreditation upon completion of your course.
APEL: The length of the programme cannot be reduced through the Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL).
Approach and theories
The primary theoretical orientation of the Programme is the Cognitive Behavioural it, and the secondary model is Systemic Theory. The Programme also has a strong interest in Neuropsychology. The Programme has a strong emphasis on equality, diversity, and inclusion throughout all aspects of the learning experience.
Placement locations
As of the 2024 intake, we will only allocate trainees to placement bases within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight (no longer Dorset). Clinical placements are allocated within these regions for the duration of the training period. Please be advised that it is the expectation that trainees live within their placement region.
