Provisional Accreditation
Provisional Accreditation is the first stage of accreditation. As long as you meet the criteria, you can apply at any time once you have evidence of graduation from your CBT training – there is no time limit – but you must be in CBT practice.
You will appear as accredited on the CBT Register once you have your Provisional Accreditation – we don’t differentiate between provisionally and fully accredited therapists in terms of their suitability to practice.
If you have completed a Level 2 BABCP Accredited course you should complete a Level 2 Provisional Application.
The second stage is to apply for Full Accreditation 12 months after the award of Provisional Accreditation.
Criteria
- You must be a BABCP member
- You must first have a mental health Core Profession or demonstrate the equivalent through completing a KSA portfolio
- You must be in current CBT practice when you apply
- You will need to provide evidence that you meet the Minimum Training Standards (MTS)
- You must supply a Supervisor’s Report and a Professional Reference. At least one of these must be provided by a BABCP member. You can find details of appropriate supervisors and supervision at Supervision Guidance
- You must pay the correct fee – details are on our Accreditation Fees page
- Our COVID-19 Guidance will help with any questions in relation to your application, practice, supervision and CPD during the pandemic
