Are you a member yet? Membership is open to all and is the first step towards accreditation.
Provisional Accreditation is the first stage of accreditation. As long as you meet the criteria, you can apply at any time once you have evidence of graduation from your CBT training - there is no time limit - but you must be in CBT practice.
You will appear as accredited on the CBT Register once you have your Provisional Accreditation - we don't differentiate between provisionally and fully accredited therapists in terms of their suitability to practice.
If you have completed a Level 2 BABCP Accredited course you should complete a Level 2 Provisional Application.
The second stage is to apply for Full Accreditation 12 months after the award of Provisional Accreditation.
