How to Choose a CBT Training Course

BABCP Level 2 accredited courses will allow you to meet all the requirements for accreditation - you won't need to work through the points below as they satisfy all of our criteria.

BABCP Level 1 accredited courses - meet our accreditation criteria in the sections below marked with *an asterisk. However there will be other requirements they don't meet. They have achieved Level 1 accreditation because they meet our standards in training quality.  

Other courses - sometimes cost, location or other commitments may mean that it is more practical for you to complete a non-accredited course. It may still be possible to become accredited if you take one of these - the points below should help you choose. 

Its important to contact the Directors of any courses you are considering and ask for their curriculum details.
