I felt the course was excellent and gave me what I needed to understand in order to complete the assignments. Having Marie Murphy as my tutor was especially beneficial.

I find case studies particularly useful, and the more of those that can be provided the better.

The Diploma in CBT Course consists of two modules (courses 150 and 151) , each containing 10 lessons and 5 tutor-marked assignments, supplemented with suggested background reading. The completion of module one (course 150 certificate in CBT) leads to the award of the Certificate. Completion of module two, which is much more practice based, leads to the award of the Diploma.


Materials supplied with this course

Linkages to other courses

An alternative to this course is the Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Course UD1000), which is accredited by ACCPH. The primary difference between the two courses is the element of accredit rigour required for successful completion.

Certificate in Counselling
I found the course really easy to follow and have really enjoyed completing it. My tutor has been very helpful, I have enjoyed communicating with Marie all through the course, and my assignments have been returned to me in a timely manner. The only point I would make (which is not a complaint), is that I really enjoyed watching the videos of counselling taking place, and I would have enjoyed watching more of these.

Overall the course was very informative and what is a big plus for me is using the materials as regular form CPD in keeping the most important aspects of CBT at the forefront of my support of patients.

Certificate in Counselling
The course, if taken seriously as a basis for one's own study, was much better than I thought it would be. The saving grace of the entire course was the quality of the tutor! Dr Murphy was incredibly generous with her time and her academic advice. She turned this course into an extremely rigorous, interesting and enjoyable course. I am not sure that true empathy can be taught or explained and from what I have seen of the physical courses on offer at universities, this course offers a serious alternative for anyone who is self motivated and possess the ability to read people. By way of constructive criticism, the materials need to be reviewed and brought back into synergy and some explanations updated and expanded. I am incredibly grateful to Dr Murphy, Alan and Urska and wish them all the best for the future.
