Your future career
Our postgraduate certificate provides a professional development opportunity for those already working as supervisors of practitioners delivering low intensity interventions with children and young people.
You’ll be ready to supervise educational health practitioners and children’s wellbeing practitioners. The course will also stand you in good stead if you choose to pursue further training in cognitive behavioural therapy supervision.
You should have a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honours (2:2 or above) in a relevant subject, such as child health and wellbeing, child and adolescent mental health and wellbeing, psychology, or early years, primary or secondary education. GCSE English Language and GCSE Mathematics at Grade C or Grade 4 or above (or equivalent) are also required. You will need to have experience of working as a mental health practitioner, typically evidenced by two or more years working therapeutically, clinically or consultatively within a children and young people’s educational or mental health setting, with children and young people with mental health difficulties. You will be expected to have experience of delivering cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) informed practice and supervision, ideally at low intensity. Experience of delivering mental health interventions in education settings is desirable. An interview forms part of the selection process.
