Course summary

About the course

This course aims to equip practitioners with the CBT skills necessary to implement evidence-based treatment for the most common psychological disorders. It comprises 21 days of teaching over two terms, including weekly supervision groups.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is part of a comprehensive CBT training programme, which has been renowned for its consistent record of excellence in CBT practice, training and supervision over the past 30 years.

Oxford is internationally recognised as a centre of excellence in CBT and the course draws on an impressive body of local specialist skill and knowledge.

The course aims to provide students with.

  • a sound knowledge of cognitive behavioural models, concepts and methods
  • an understanding of issues of importance relating to the theory and practice of CBT, including.
  • the relationship between CBT theory and therapy
  • the use of CBT with a variety of client groups and disorders
  • related research on outcome and process.
  • competence in assessing and treating patients using CBT.
  • in assessing patient suitability for CBT
  • in developing CBT case-formulations
  • in devising and implementing individual treatment programmes
  • in evaluating their effects.
  • the ability to convey clearly the central concepts of CBT and to communicate basic treatment skills.

The course does not aim to prepare students to teach and supervise CBT. The emphasis is on acquiring, practising and communicating specialised clinical skills, within an explicit theoretical framework in relation to associated empirical research.

Assessment

To complete the PG Cert in CBT you will need to.

  • take an active part in teaching and supervision sessions, and carry out CBT with the required number of patients;
  • complete a 4,000-word case report of one treated case;
  • complete a 2,000-word written assignment on CBT theory, research; and
  • submit audio/video recordings of CBT sessions for formative and summative assessment.

Graduate destinations

Completion of the course provides access to a growing network of course graduates and to an ongoing programme of follow-up workshops on CBT and related topics. Further supervision through OCTC may also be negotiated, for example, for participants wishing to achieve accreditation by the British Association of Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies as a therapist, supervisor and/or trainer.

This award forms the foundation for further professional and clinical development, which can be pursued within the larger framework of the OCTC/University of Oxford CBT programme. The programme offers specialist training and can lead to a Postgraduate Diploma or MSc in CBT.
