The APT Diploma in Psychological Therapies

The APT Diploma in Psychological Therapies is equivalent to 90 hours of training made up by completing the five courses below:

• Motivational Interviewing, and how to use it effectively

• DBT Essentials (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)

• CBT Essentials (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

• SFT Essentials (Solution Focused Therapy)

• ACT Essentials (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

To be awarded the Diploma, students must also complete an inbuilt exam (after each course) and the training should be completed within a 2 year period. (CFT Essentials and The RAID® Course can also be completed as part of the Diploma, which can be swapped for any of the above course titles.)

What you receive as a result of attending the training:

You will be registered as having attended the course, thereby gaining The APT Diploma in Psychological Therapies, and receive a certificate to this effect and Level 4 accreditation which gains you access to the resources associated with the course.

Your registration lasts indefinitely, and your accreditation to use the resources lasts for 3 years and is renewable by submitting evidence of continued practice, and your reflections on that practice.

Your accreditation is given value by the fact of over 150,000 people having attended APT training. See APT accreditation for full details.

Note, if you have already attended one or more of these courses in the last 2 years, then you have an exemption for that subject(s), you don't need to attend the same course again. If you have already attended the equivalent of one or more of these courses from another training-provider in the last 2 years, then again you have an exemption for that subject(s), although you do need to submit evidence of the training and pay a reading fee for APT assessing it.
