A better way to commission training.
APT Exclusive Membership is our invitation-only scheme for trusted sponsors who want to make commissioning training smoother, more strategic, and fully supported by APT.
It’s designed for organisations who regularly commission exclusive training for their teams and want a more streamlined, personalised way to do so — with flexibility built in.
No repeated admin or invoicing
Once your annual budget is in place, simply let us know the training you need - we’ll arrange the rest.
Not only does this massively reduce your admin, it opens you up to easily planning a fully integrated training programme for your teams. You can mix and match Exclusive courses (where a live tutor comes to you either face-to-face or via Teams) - Open courses (where a small number of your team attend events which are Open to all mental health professionals) - or Anytime courses (specially recorded courses that your colleagues can attend anytime at their convenience).
So the integrated input you can easily arrange is excellent. For example, you might arrange an Exclusive course where a tutor comes to you either face-to-face or via Teams for say, 15 people, and then any new joiners or people who missed out for whatever reason can attend the same course either on Open or or via the pre-recorded Anytime courses.
And once you're set up, everything can be done through phone calls or emails.
A named Relationship Manager
Your consistent point of contact at the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT).
This will be a senior person at APT who will know who you are so you don't forever have to be explaining what your needs are, what sort of clients you work with and everything else.
Priority access to new courses
You’ll be among the first to hear about new developments and opportunities.
Exclusive members are the first to hear about new courses, free courses and everything else. Whenever we send out an email, it is the Exclusive members who get it first.
Access to a Senior Psychologist
To help shape your training plans and respond to changing needs.
Often enough you know exactly what you want and can check it out on the website and simply commission it. Other times it can be useful to talk things through with an experienced senior person who knows what you're talking about and can act as a sounding board, but also provide you with new insights and let you know what's happening elsewhere.
As an exclusive member, all you need to do is ask your relationship manager to arrange this and you can have a zoom/teams call or phone call to do just that.
Quarterly training summaries
See who in your team has received which training, at a glance.
As an exclusive member, every quarter we will notify you as to what courses you have commissioned and who has attended them, so enabling you to keep track of just how well you are achieving your CPD aims for your teams.
Full flexibility
If your plans change, you can withdraw any unspent budget at any point — no penalty.
So if you suddenly need your budget for another priority, you can simply withdraw it. Or if you move on to a different post and your organisation wants to withdraw the unspent budget, likewise, they can do. With no penalties, no admin charges, no hassle.
APT Exclusive Membership is typically offered by invitation to organisations who regularly work with us. If your team commissions exclusive APT courses and you feel this approach could suit your organisation, we’d be pleased to hear from you.
