Complete Your UKCP Training or Simply Deepen Your Understanding with These Online Taught Modules

UKCP Online Modules The National College of Hypnosis & Psychotherapy

Introduction

These online modules can be done individually as stand-alone modules to deepen your understanding (and/or earn CPD points) or in their entirety as part of Stage 4 on the UKCP hypno-psychotherapeutic counsellor or hypno-psychotherapist pathways.

The Research for Therapists in Practice module differs in submission requirements between the hypno-psychotherapist pathway and the hypno-psychotherapeutic counsellor pathway due to the absence of a research project and dissertation on the latter.

How Our Online Courses Work

Benefits of Our Online Courses:

  • Combine freedom to choose when and how you study within an informal structure so however you are best motivated, the system will work for you
  • Avoids the costs of travel and accommodation
  • Our online classrooms provide an opportunity for collaborative learning, unlike traditional distance learning courses which can be solitary undertakings

There are Four Distinct Parts to These Courses:

  1. Weekly webpages with the course content
  2. Weekly chatroom sessions. Your input to the chatroom will be assessed but this is chat so there is no need to be formal
  3. The forum; you will find topics throughout the course content to discuss with your fellow students and tutor(s) on the forum. Debate is welcomed here and as with the chatroom, formality is not required
  4. Written assessment, you will find a link on each weekly page to your assessment page and we advise you to start this assessment process early so that any issues or queries can be discussed with your fellow students via the forum
