ACT BASIC ENGLISH COURSE
ACT BASIC ENGLISH COURSE
The ACT basic English course consists of four training days via Zoom including 3 months access to our international app PsychFlex . The required reading is the book ‘How to live with life’ by Gijs Jansen (can be purchased separately via our webshop).
The investment for this course is € 995,-
The program is state-of-the-art and has been developed and continuously improved over the past ten years. Using the most modern techniques, you will learn as a care provider and as a person what ACT can do for you and your clients. You will be given a large arsenal of skills.
GOAL
During the ACT basic training you will learn to train all the basic skills you need as a starting ACT therapist, coach or trainer. You will learn to convey a range of exercises and metaphors to your clients in a didactic, structured and clear manner. Moreover, you will experience for yourself what ACT can do for you personally.
Themes that are discussed are: Avoidance and control, acceptance, defusion, mindfulness, the self, values, committed action and dancing with act.
WHO IS THE BASIC TRAINING FOR?
Within ACT we do not make a major distinction between different disciplines. Whether you are a psychiatrist, occupational therapist, doctor, social worker, psychologist, educationalist, gerontologist or nurse. At our core, we are all care providers who want clients to move forward in their lives.
In addition, we mainly look at what makes someone’s life valuable, and how we can further strengthen those values.
THE FUTURE
Your previous education determines what you can and may call yourself. If you are a psychologist, you will be an ACT psychologist after this training. If you are a coach, you will coach with ACT from then on. These types of short courses are not a replacement for an academic or recognized HBO course, but they are a valuable addition to your professional development.
GOOD TO KNOW:
- This training is given via Zoom
- The training builds on fundamental principles (such as conversation techniques, the therapeutic relationship, professional ethics) that are taught in comparable bachelor's and master's studies.
- The book that accompanies this course is “how to live with life”. You can purchase this book directly in our webshop.
- For the ACT basic training, there are four digital meetings from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with sufficient breaks and rest moments in between.
- The trainers determine who as a participant has met the requirements for the training. This depends on the (100%) presence of a participant, a proactive attitude, completing home work and contribution to group processes. In the event of absenteeism, the lesson day can be made up at another time.
CERTIFICATION
You will receive a certificate for both the basic and further training.
