Degree or an equivalent level 6 qualification and a mental health professional qualification or equivalent skills. The PGDipCBT is designed to meet the criteria for accreditation with the BABCP | British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. Thus, to be eligible to enter training, you must have relevant academic and professional experience as detailed below. You must have a degree or an equivalent level 6 qualification. You must also demonstrate that you have mental health professional qualification or be able to demonstrate that you have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes equivalent to a mental health professional. Note that you cannot transfer credits from a previous course that included a module on CBT. There are two routes to entry: You must be qualified in one of a list of BABCP Core Professions Or, you must satisfy the criteria of the Knowledge Skills and Attitudes (KSA) framework, as described by the BABCP. If you are submitting a KSA portfolio, it does not need to be submitted to BABCP prior to training. It needs to be submitted to the University as part of the selection process. You need to come to any interview that you are offered prepared to talk about how you meet the KSA criteria. Additionally, if, following interview, we intend to offer you a place, we will ask for you to submit your KSA portfolio to us electronically as part of meeting the conditions of your offer. You must also have a clinical placement in place prior to admission to study. We operate our selection procedures jointly with placement providers in line with NHS Values Based Recruitment. Note that there needs to be two years between graduation from PWP (or any other HEE funded course) and the start date of the Diploma in CBT.
