I would be happy to attend further courses and increase my knowledge of CBT."

Kirsty Lowe, Forensic Psychologist
"I didn't realize how interesting CBT was until these past 3 days. The lecturer was probably one of the best lecturers I have met.

I think the videos were an excellent way of seeing how it is done, role plays were very useful as you were able to practice skills yourself and test your understanding and knowledge so far.

The slides used are also very informative, especially in the booklet form, where there was a large space for making additional notes – all can be referred to again when needs be."
Sudarshan Kanda-Pavaday, Staff Nurse

"Very relevant training which increased my awareness and knowledge: pulled together things I already know and do and put them into a structure which will assist me with clients greatly. All members of all teams would benefit – thus clients will benefit."
B. Phillips, STR Worker
"Excellent training. I was concerned before the course, that having not worked in MH long, the training would be too complex. I was pleased that all concepts and ideas were explained thoroughly and the rational behind these given. I found it particularly useful that we had the opportunity to practice skills learnt though role play. I felt the training was well delivered with professionalism and humor."

"This course has offered me the opportunity to consolidate previous knowledge and skills as well as learn new ones – more than I ever anticipated! The teaching styles used were varied, practical, useful and enjoyable. I am already aware of ways in which I hope that it will change my practice.
