This structure provides a live dynamic which is vibrant and creates a learning environment where all can optimise learning.
The process will acknowledge the relationship as being at the heart of all effective learning and will be flexible and responsive to individual learning goals as well as being commensurate with the stage of development of the practitioner.
The Teaching and Learning Ethos
At smcp we are committed to the multi-level training ethos. The training to become a Psychotherapist, Supervisor or Trainer has been delivered using different group structures in the past and the multi-level structure has proved to be the most successful at smcp in terms of:
Student satisfaction and
Learning outcomes
The multi-level structure means students / practitioners at all levels of training and / or qualification work within the same group. This structure provides a live dynamic which is vibrant and creates a learning environment where all can optimise learning.
The process will acknowledge the relationship as being at the heart of all effective learning and will be flexible and responsive to individual learning goals as well as being commensurate with the stage of development of the students / practitioners.
