Supervision
The course provides the first stage in working towards becoming an IPT Practitioner as defined in the IPT Scotland Training Pathway and in the IPT-UK accreditation standards. Following attendance at a course, those who want to become recognised as IPT practitioners need to undertake supervision with a recognised IPT supervisor and satisfactorily complete the treatment of four cases in supervision.
Please note the course does not include the cost of supervision. Supervision is available from recognised IPT supervisors in the IPT Scotland Network and potentially from other supervisors in the IPT UK Network. Supervision can be provided at a distance over the phone. Sessions of supervised cases must be audio recorded so selected sessions must be reviewed by the supervisor. Please see the website for details. Supervision needs to be arranged on an individual basis with a supervisor. If you are sure you require supervision in order to attend this course it is recommended that this is negotiated before you confirm acceptance of a place.
