The course is also designed for allied health professionals, who work in an OH setting. At least 50% of your work should be in the field of occupational health, and you’ll also need accreditation (or evidence of working towards this) with a relevant professional organisation. A supplementary application form will need to be completed.

Teaching methods:
Teaching methods are designed to encourage an active approach to learning, and maximise learning outcomes. These include: key lectures delivered by trained and experienced practitioners, discussion, case studies for presentation, skills demonstration, rehearsal and practice, experiential activities, small group work, guidance and supervision, directed and independent study. A one-to-one tutor appointment is offered to each student. These will take place on Days 3 and 4 from 4.00pm-5.00pm, and on day 5 from 8.55am – 9.55am.
No previous knowledge of CBT is assumed.
Course work and assessment:
The structure of the course ensures that knowledge and skills are built up progressively, and work and reading are set between modules to consolidate learning. To qualify for the Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Skills for OH Professionals, students will need to attend a minimum of 80% of the course and undertake a 3,000 word assignment detailing their experience of using a cognitive/behavioural approach in a case study with a client they have worked with throughout the period of training. Certain activities, such as group work, must also be completed as part of the course in order to aid learning and development. The Certificate will only be awarded to students on the satisfactory completion of the above.
