The Centre for Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy is the only Albert Ellis Institute accredited training centre in the United Kingdom. Our courses are accredited by the Albert Ellis Institute, rather than the University of Birmingham who act as host for the Centre.
We provide training at the Centre for REBT in the exactly the same format as that provided by the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. Each training course includes a mixture of both didactic teaching and peer counselling. Our training standards and accreditation processes are monitored by the Albert Ellis Institute to ensure that we provide training at the same standard.
We have found that previous students have particularly valued the chance to undertake supervised peer counselling, and that this, more than anything else has helped them to learn not only what REBT is, but how to do REBT.
Currently we provide three different training courses each building on the one before it:
Associate Fellowship Certificate
The Centre for REBT provides an Associate Fellowship certificate in REBT and is the highest level of certificate accredited by the Albert Ellis Institute. Participants undertake a four-day course that includes supervision of the participants recorded sessions. It will also include four half days of specialist workshops. Participants must have completed both a Professional Primary in REBT and Advanced Certificate in REBT from an Albert Ellis Institute accredited training centre.
