Ongoing Professional Training

Diploma

This normally takes four years and is accredited through the British Psychodrama Association.

Students must do 300 hours training with course trainers, 300 hours with other approved trainers and write two essays and 60 short pieces.

Students who do not have training in psychodrama must also complete 150 hours of training in psychodrama for which a certificate may be awarded.

Certificate

This usually takes two years. Students must do 100 hours training with the course trainers, 40 hours with other approved trainers and one essay and 20 short pieces.

* It is not necessary to enrol as a Diploma or Certificate student to attend the course.

Course structure

The course from September 2008 will start with a residential long weekend followed by 6 further weekends spread across the year.

Participants with different levels of experience are combined in the same group to encourage a rich group culture and interchange of experience.

For Diploma and Certificate trainees the course includes ongoing recording of workshops and regular meetings of "action learning work-sets" between sessions.
