COURSE OVERVIEW

A distance learning course is the ideal way to gain a Level 3 qualification in Psychotherapy. Whether you're looking to go on to further education, improve your job prospects or expand your knowledge, distance learning Psychotherapy is a flexible and convenient course, which allows you to comprehensively prepare for a exam or career through home study. What's more, because the distance learning Level 3 Psychotherapy course is a fully comprehensive course, no prior knowledge is required.

"It is essential in this day and age, that serious consideration be given to those cases of neurotic disorder which arise because of the problems which exist between people."

Psychotherapy is essentially the listening to, and the talking with clients whose problems and anxieties have become too great a burden to cope with alone. Its aim is to help the troubled individual to understand and to resolve their predicament. Most therapy which is carried out is brief, which can mean anything from one to twenty-five sessions. A training course should teach a therapist to work briefly. This Psychotherapy course is formulated specifically to train the student to work briefly by design rather than default.

Course Assessments

The Psychotherapy courseis marked through a process of continuous assessment guided by your tutor following NCFE guidelines. This means that your qualification will be awarded according to your performance on assessments rather than by taking an exam.

We send the full course out, you then read through the course in your own time and complete the assignments which you send to your tutor for marking. There is no word count for these assignments. However, one sentence answers will be rejected and you will have to re-submit it for marking.

Upon verification of the activities, exercises and assignments, a certificate of achievement will be awarded by the national awarding organisation NCFE, as confirmation that your written work has met all of the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the programme.

Course Duration

We recommend you spend approximately 120 hours of your time studying for the Psychotherapy course. The pace of study is completely up to you. To give an example, if you dedicate 2 hours a week to the course it would take you a year to complete but if you could spare 4 hours a week you could complete it in six months.

Get started today, and you can earn your Level 3 Award in Psychotherapy in as little as six months, or take up to a year, if you prefer – the choice is yours.
