Yes. CPD (Continued Professional Development) Points are Awarded to All Courses. Often up to 500 points can be awarded, please check with whom you are registered for their guidelines on how many points they award for online courses, as they all differ. To give you an example: FHT, Thinktree and others who accredit and approve our courses award CPD points to all distance learning online courses but they all award different amounts of points, no two professional bodies are the same. This is why when you check with the professional body you are with, they will be happy to let you know what’s awarded as we cannot set the number of CPD points, this is done by the accreditation bodies themselves.

We offer great discounts & instalment payment options on balance payments to help you budget. The tutor will contact you with the available instalment options if needed as soon as you have paid the course deposit for your chosen course.

Mindfulness is often perceived in much of Western society as ‘clearing your head of all thoughts’, however, this course will enable you to see that actually the opposite is true. Mindfulness is a ‘fully-conscious’ state of being that enables us to understand our thoughts and emotions, understand where they have come from and also how we can control them so that we do not become controlled by them. We are not our thoughts!

Mindfulness involves focusing on what is happening now, in the present, instead of focusing on our what has happened in the past or our future predictions. It allows us to identify with our past and recognise why we are who we are, but also not to let it define us. It allows us to look positively into the future by recognising that we only have control over the here and now.

“Every morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”
Buddha

This Mindfulness Practitioner Online Training course includes full tutor support, all course materials, over 25 Mindfulness exercises and tools and an accredited certification on completion.

You can log in 24 hours a day whenever you wish to view them making it easy to fit around your lifestyle.

The course is assessed by questions and the students doing some Mindful activities and then feeding back on them. You have a year to complete the course but it can be done much sooner if you wish. You can go at your own pace and the tutor is there to support you if you have any questions.

There are no case studies needed but at the end of the course you will need to take part in a mindfulness exercise yourself and then feedback on this.

The mindfulness course is accredited as 120 hours of learning but it can be done in much less time depending on the time a student has to give to reading and their current knowledge.

This course is open to complete beginners. You do not have to be a therapist to take this course or if you are an existing therapist you will be able to add this qualification to your insurance cover.

Yes. We have many students from the UK, Ireland, USA, Canada and across Europe.

The one question we have been asked by most students is how to find work after you have trained with us, so we have teamed up with a company that can help! They can find therapists who work in London and all around the UK, whether it is part-time work or full time they can help. We will put you in touch with them once you have trained with us. We want to make sure we look after the students that train with us to make it easier to build your client base or just top up what you already have.
