Courses

Important information about the courses listed

This is a listing of courses which can substantially contribute to meeting the Minimum Training Standards or having been Accredited by BABCP as meeting those standards.

The courses not Accredited are on the list because they are known to have been used by applicants for Practitioner Accreditation as contributing to their evidence of specialist CBT training - and are therefore familiar to the Accreditor Panel.

However, this does not denote that they have been formally assessed and BABCP is not able to give an opinion on the quality or quantity of training provided by such courses

Courses which have been through the formal BABCP Course Accreditation process will have been matched and evaluated for quality and content against the requirements for individual practitioner accreditation as laid down in the Minimum Training Standards.

If the course has been formally evaluated at Level 2, this denotes that all the requirements are covered. If the course has been formally evaluated at Level 1, this denotes that some requirements are met - anfd a specific quantification of this will be provided in course literature.

Applicants for Practitioner Accreditation can only be deemed to have completed an Accredited Course if they commenced that course AFTER the date it was Accredited. This is because we have found in all courses so far applying for accreditation, there has been a need for some changes to be able to meet the course accreditation criteria. Applicants who have completed a course prior to its Accreditation may still, of course, use it as evidence for their specialised CBT training but it will not be automatically accepted in the same way as an Accredited course. 
 
Lists of Level 1 and Level 2 Accredited courses can be accessed from the links to the right

Below is the list of all the known courses
