This must be completed by your Training supervisor.

Trainer CPD and Reflective Statements

You must complete one piece of trainer-related CPD for each of the past two years. You also need to provide Reflective Statements and evidence for the activities. 

These activities don't have to be CBT specific but Accreditors would expect you to demonstrate their relevance to CBT Training Practice.

Acceptable activities include -

• attendance at workshops or courses relating to Training Practice and skills
• attendance at conferences and seminars relating to Training Practice, for example learning to use presentation skills, presentation aids such as PowerPoint or interactive whiteboards 
• involvement in relevant research
• relevant publications by you 
• reading relevant books and journals etc.
• involvement with Training SIGs
• relevant media involvement.

The hours spent developing or CBT Training or "Train the Trainer" programmes may count only once each. 

Providing CBT Training, and undertaking Training Supervision do not count as relevant CPD activity as they are considered as part of your usual job.

CPD Reflective Statements are best completed soon after you have completed the activity.
