Advanced TA Training Programme 2011

Transactional Analysis has a basic philosophy of "I'm OK - You are OK" which underlies all the training and supervision offered at YTC.

We create a supportive atmosphere in which to develop your personal and professional development.

The training is process orientated and competency-based leading towards qualification as a Transactional Analyst psychotherapist. This is reflected in the course design, the course requirements and the final external examination process for qualification as a TA psychotherapist.

The Transactional Analysis (TA) Foundation Course is designed to be the first step before joining this ongoing training programme.

The YTC training format is unique: Meeting for three days on alternate months is designed to maximise the time spent learning in the training group, significantly increasing the number of training and supervision hours each module.

Group times: Friday 9.30 – 6pm - Saturday 9.30 – 6pm - Sunday 9.30 – 5pm
