A blend of residential and online learning:
Each year consists of two modules;
-
-
-
- A two week intensive residential module each year
- Ten days online teaching, spread throughout the remainder of each year.
-
-
Modular students are required to do a greater number of self-guided hours.
The Training
In both versions of our training:
-
- students get the same support from tutors
- the same taught themes are delivered
- there is the same clinical practice requirement of 150 hours of supervised client contact time
- the students are supported with securing their placements
- there are the same academic requirements
- there is a designated student zone on the website, however modular students need to upload all their course work and homework for the tutors to view
- Modular students have less live taught contact time so a greater number of self-guided hours are required
Please note that all entry and training requirements are the same for both the Full Time and Modular formats of this training.
