Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Credit rated at SCQF level 8) Reviews

Initially I was not sure how useful an online course would be . I was living and working abroad at the time,so studying remotely was the only way of gaining a recognised qualification. I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting and challenging and informative the course was .

Excellent course material

Generally, this course was exactly what I needed in order to bridge the gap that I had in my qualifications as a trainer. I was looking at covering the cognitive-behavioral coaching niche, and the course was definitely a plus for me

Quite a lot of the recommended websites were no longer in use. Being overseas access to English library facilities non existent, and so buying books to read proves expensive, and difficult to decide which would be the most useful, impossible to buy all that are recommended reading, obviously. I am pleased that I have been able to complete a counselling diploma whilst being in France, but can see why there are so few options to do these courses online. I feel that it is necessary to have class room sessions to discuss and work through subjects. Online studying of these subjects has its limits.

Excellent course materials

When I first received the coursework I wondered if I had bitten off more than I could chew! I read the information several times and each module was explained really well. Once I got into the course I really enjoyed it and found the experience really enjoyable. I'm an older student,being mid fifties, and I was a wee bit apprenhensive but everything you need is contained in the course material. Fantastic.

Course offered all the coursework and it was relevant to my work place clients.

Just an observation - many of the final assignments had mixed up names of characters, giving, for example, an anecdote about 'John' and then asking how one would reply to 'Tony'. It just felt a little less professional....

All the manuals are very well organized. As you progress with the course you realize that all is thought to make sense and you are gaining knowledge and skills adding to the one you already have. All the Practice Exercises, Self Development Exercises, Activities and Assignments are invaluable to put theory in practice and get confident in using the skills in different scenarios and diagnosis.

Course content and material is rich with pictures, case studies and examples and so many materials to reference
