Teaching will be a combination of lectures, small-group discussion, role plays, videos and whole group discussion. The course will be structured in a way congruent with CBT, including requiring students to do homework using the techniques between sessions, e.g doing a thought record. The tutor strongly recommends setting aside approximately 2 hours per week to carry out required homework tasks in order to get the most out of the course.
