Training Courses

INFORMATION FOR 2008 INTAKES WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.  CURRENT INFORMATION MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

IFT offers courses at all levels of training in family and systemic psychotherapy.

All long term training is organised on a part time basis to allow individuals to participate with minimum disruption to their work setting. Each stage of the training may be followed as a self contained module. Depending on experience and professional qualifications it may not be necessary to enter at the introductory level, but equivalence of prior learning will have to be demonstrated. Trainees are required to apply for a place at each stage of the training.

The four year qualifying training programme is taken in three separate parts:

• Graduate Certificate in Systemic Practice - Year 1 Introductory (Families and Couples or Child Focused) 
• Postgraduate Certificate in Systemic Practice - Year 2 Intermediate (Families and Couples or Child Focused)
• MSc in Family and Systemic Psychotherapy (years 3 and 4).

Successful completion of all 4 years leads to a qualification in Family and Systemic Psychotherapy, and following a year of post qualifying practice, graduates can register with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy.

Social Work Post Qualifying Awards

The courses were accredited by the Greater London Post Qualifying Education and Training Consortium (social work) until its demise and replacement by the GSCC and Skills for Health. Birkbeck and IFT are preparing an application for validation of the courses under the new Post-Qualifying Social Work Award structure.
