Certificated Correspondence in Stress Management

INTRODUCTION
The Director of the Centre for Coaching, Professor Stephen Palmer, in association with Deborah Clarke developed a trainee workbook How to Manage Stress for the National Extension College. This was designed to be used either as a self-study resource or as part of a Distance Learning correspondence programme with tutor marked assignments.

CONTENT
Once enrolled onto the programme the student receives the trainee workbook consisting of information about stress and its management and a series of practical self-help exercises. A list of the assignments is provided. An additional reading list is supplied for students who wish to study the subject in greater depth.

WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
The course is suitable for the layperson, coaches, trainers, counsellors, psychologists, personnel staff, managers, management consultants, complementary health practitioners, health and caring professionals who wish to learn more about stress and its management. It may also offer an individual the opportunity to learn more about stress management before enrolling on a course based training programme at the Centre for Stress Management.

OVERSEAS STUDENTS
This course is available to overseas students. However, all materials are written in English. Assignments will only be marked if they are submitted in English. There is an additional fee for postage. However, assignments can be submitted by email to tutors.

ASSIGNMENTS & CERTIFICATE
A certificate of CPD is awarded to participants who successfully complete the five marked assignments which are undertaken at home. After enrolling on the programme, allowing for the marking of the assignments, the course can be completed in under six months. However, students are given up to 12 months to complete the course. Please note that assignments are not marked during your tutor’s holiday period.
