APT Accreditation

The APT Accreditation system.

The Association for Psychological Therapies offers the following levels of accreditation for practitioners, intended to provide a clear and transparent record of the level competence you are maintaining and to be of high relevance to employers.

The accreditation is given weight by over 150,000 professionals having attended APT courses and thereby gained APT accreditation in their course-subject at levels ranging from 1 to 5, from introductory to advanced.

You might consider levels 1 to 3 as being where you are acquainting yourself with the subject in question. At levels four and five you might reasonably describe yourself as specialist. Always assuming that you have a relevant underpinning professional qualifications such as psychology, psychiatry, mental health nursing, occupational therapy, or social work.

The Levels below refer to the accreditation you acquire by attending APT training, or by submitting a record of equivalent training you have received from elsewhere for verification by the APT (note, the training must have been completed within the last 3 years).



APT's Delegate Accreditation - Level 1


APT Accreditation, Level 1 is the level of accreditation you obtain by attending APT's live training. 

Your accreditation currently lasts for 3 years, and is renewable by submitting evidence of practice, and your reflections on that practice, and the prevailing fee. (There is a form available for this, click here.)



APT's Delegate Accreditation - Level 2


APT Accreditation, Level 2 means you have received training as in Level 1, and also passed the relevant online exam. 

Your accreditation lasts for 3 years from the date you completed the relevant online course, and is renewable by sitting and passing the online exam again and paying the prevailing fee.



APT's Delegate Accreditation - Level 3


APT Accreditation, Level 3
means that you have Level 2 accreditation and have attended a total of at least 6 days training, in the subject you are seeking accreditation in. 

Level 3 accreditation lasts for 3 years, and is renewable by submitting evidence of practice and reflections on that practice, with the prevailing fee. (There is a form available for this, click here.)



APT's Delegate Accreditation - Level 4


APT Accreditation, Level 4 means you have Level 3 accreditation and have attended at least 10 days training, some of which may be the relevant Masterclass. 

Level 4 accreditation lasts for 3 years, and is renewable by submitting evidence of practice and reflections thereon. (There is a form available for this, click here.)



APT's Delegate Accreditation - Level 5


APT Accreditation, Level 5 requires you to have Level 4 accreditation and additionally submit a set project to an acceptable standard. The purpose of the project is to illustrate that you can effectively apply the knowledge and skills gained from your training to a clinical situation. The pass level for this is demanding, in that the project needs to be at a standard that could be published on this site as an example of APT's Level 5 accreditation.

Level 5 accreditation is renewable by submitting evidence of practice and your reflections on it, with the prevailing fee. (There is a form available for this, click here.)
