The venue is 3 miles from Cooksbridge railway station (one hour from Victoria) and 5.8 miles from Lewes station (again an hour from Victoria with slightly more fequent trains).

The course will now run from 10am to 4pm on the following Fridays in 2009 and 2010:
9th of October, 13th November, 11th of December 2009, and the 22nd of January 26th of Febuary, 26th of March and the 23rd of April 2010
The course has been designed around the competencies outlined in the Department of Health document :'The competences required to deliver effective cognitive and behavioural therapy for people with depression and with anxiety disorders' developed by the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Programme. (Roth and Pilling 2007). In this document the competencies are ordered in level of complexity starting with generic competencies followed by Basic CBT competencies and then by Specific CBT competencies and then by Problem specific competencies. More complex meta skills which would normally be associated with longer and more in-depth training with clincial supervision form a CBT therapist. While we refer to these meta skills they are not specifically addressed in this training. Many of the competencies outlined in the 'High Intensity Worker ' curriculum are also covered, as well as many that are not, such as working with people who somatise and those who have substance misuse problems.
