Certificate in CBT 2 (Credit rated at SCQF level 8)
I liked the structure of the course. The material was interessting and was presented very clear, and the set-up in the folder was inviting to learn. I liked that there were colourful graphics to enhance the learning experience. A great benefit is that each stutdent is assigned a personal tutor to help them through the coure. Marie Murphy was my personal tutor, she was very helpful and supportive with any questions and concerns I had. Her feedback on my written work was always encouraging and uplifting. She certainly has a great gift in tutoring and I am very grateful that Marie was assigned to me. The course content is clear and in depth. I got a good overview of CBT in general and about specific disorders and different methods used. What I was missing a little is that the content of the course material is still the same as fifteen years ago. I would have liked to see more of the newer approaches or new methods that have evolved and have enhanced CBT since then. But that is my personal preference. Over all it is a great course and I can really recommend it to others. A great benefit is that it is accredited by the ACCPH which is internationally recognised.
