Cognitive Behavioural Therapy PGCert

The demand for psychological therapies is increasing and CBT is an evidence-based approach recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for a wide range of mental health conditions, yet the availability of appropriately trained therapists in Wales is scarce. To meet this demand, Bangor University have been commissioned by HEIW to provide Postgraduate Certificate (PG Cert CBT) and Postgraduate Diploma training in CBT (PG Dip CBT). There are two part-time postgraduate programmes in Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (CBT) available at Bangor University: a one-year Certificate and a two-year Diploma programme. Students are expected to register for the Certificate in the first instance and must pass all 3 modules to progress to the Diploma. Our programme aims to meet the high-quality standards in education set by the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (BABCP). The syllabus is aligned with the BABCP Minimum Training Standards, Core Curriculum and Roth and Pilling competency framework for CBT with anxiety disorders and depression. The programme aims to provide a broad-based training ensuring that on qualification, you are ready to work in the range of mental health services offered across Wales. Both the PG Cert and PG Dip are one day a week part-time programmes and have the same content in year 1. Academic teaching is delivered primarily as 1 day each week across the academic year. You will be conducting clinical work in your place of employment. You will be supported in your place of work by your clinical supervisor and will also have a personal tutor allocated to you from the University programme who will support you with your academic work and liaise with your clinical supervisor about your progress. Aligned with BABCP Minimum Training Standards for practitioner accreditation Develop advanced CBT skills for complex and co-morbid mental health presentations Focus on evidence-based interventions for depression and anxiety Part-time structure supports working professionals Taught by experienced clinicians and academic experts in CBT Strong employment outcomes in NHS, private practice, and academic settings
