Advanced TA Psychotherapy Training  in Bucharest 2011

  • 2 days – 9.30 – 6pm

  • For those with more than 200 hours of training - including those planning to take the CTA examination.

  • Priority is given to supervision and practice issues including exam preparation

  • For an application form for the training groups please email: Diana Deaconu

Number of Participants / fees / commitment: 

  1. Maximum of 20 participants.
  2. Fees: €50 / day
  3. Commitment:
    • Each participant commits for the full year of training from the date they join the group. If they join after the first group they commit to remain in the group for the remainder of that year.
    • Each January the group is reformed and membership of the training group means membership from January till the December group.
    • All fees are non-refundable and are for membership of the group – not for attendance therefore on acceptance into the group the fee for the whole year becomes payable immediately - however to enable participants to spread the cost YTCi agrees that members can pay in the following way:
      • Each year a deposit will be paid in advance of starting the group of a minimum of €100
      • Then each group the minimum of €100 will be paid… meaning the last group of the year will have been paid for by the deposit.
