Diploma in Autogenic Training (Dip AT) – Level 2

Level 2 – Three-year post-graduate training course

On completion of the Level 1 Diploma in Autogenic Training students can proceed to Level 2, which is a three-year post-graduate course, designed to:

• deepen students’ experience of AT
• enable students to practise as psychotherapists
• meet the registration requirements of the UKCP
The course includes training in Autogenic Neutralisation, a unique method of depth psychotherapy in which the client is actively involved in observing and commenting on their own process of development. A very wide range of clients can benefit from this therapy with skilled support from the Autogenic Psychotherapist.

Eligibility for the Level 2 Course
You are eligible to apply for this training if you have completed the Level 1 Diploma of Autogenic Therapy (Dip AT) and can show sufficient experience in working with the Standard Exercises.

Entry requirements

• Own supervision and supervisor’s reference
• Relevant Continuing Professional Development
• At least six sessions of Autogenic Neutralisation already completed for yourself, and a contract for further ongoing sessions (signed statement from AT therapist)

Workload
A total of 900 hours over three years is anticipated. These will include training days, clinical practice, supervision, and study hours. Autogenic Neutralisation will take up the majority of the teaching and clinical practice hours.

Accredited Prior Learning
For those students already working in psychotherapy, previous training will be taken into account. The admissions process will help you to form your Personal Learning Plan, indicating where you need additional knowledge or skills and how you intend to meet those needs. This Personal Learning Plan will be further developed on the course, and assessed.
