Training Courses
The course is a four-year course divided into two parts: a two year advanced certificate course of 250 hours, and a two year diploma course of 200 hours,
both awarded by the Adlerian Society and Institute for Individual Psychology (ASIIP).
Within the diploma programme there are two routes, the counselling route and the practitioner route.
The Advanced Certificate in the Theory of Individual Psychology and Adlerian Counselling Skills is awarded to ASIIP members, on satisfactory completion of the two year, 250 hour course and allows entry into the Counselling or Practitioner Diploma programme. The course concentrates on developing the theory and philosophy underpinning Individual Psychology and teaches a range of skills and competences required by Adlerian practitioners. The Diploma in Adlerian Counselling is awarded to students who are members of ASIIP on satisfactory attainment of a number of criteria:
The Diploma in Adlerian Practitionership is awarded to students on satisfactory attainment of a number of criteria:
The aim of all the training is to offer a focus for learning and uses the teachings of Alfred Adler as the philosophical core and integral discipline, via inter-active dialogue among students and tutors.
This helps develop creative and constructive thinking in co-operation with others. The learning is based on the questions asked rather than those answered.
All classes are fully participative, encouraging experiential learning.
Self-awareness and personal growth are integral. Adlerian counselling takes a holistic view of persons in their social setting focusing on the social purpose of their behaviour. This approach emphasises a counselling relationship that is based on equality, respect and encouragement. The ultimate aims are to enable the development of a working understanding of the knowledge and skills related to the course whole, to encourage the capacity to work spontaneously and creatively rather than via fixed repetitive use of technique, to enhance awareness of how learned principles can be used in varying and different situations and to highlight Adler's concept of Gemeinschaftsgefuhl. Years 1 and 2 provide 90 training hours per year in evening classes with the provision of another 35 hours each year in weekend and 1 day workshops. In years 3 and 4 the 90 training hours in the evenings is supplemented by 20 additional hours attained through 1 day workshops. This meets the total of 450 hours training required for the ASIIP Diploma. The cost of all the workshops is included in the basic course fees. Tutors will keep a record of attendance and a certificate of hours achieved will be given at the end of each year. Where students cannot attend or miss workshops, consideration will be given to their achieving the requisite hours by attending other appropriate courses or workshops. Inclusion of the hours spent at such courses will need to be agreed with the year tutor prior to attendance. Training Venue The training is held at the Aylesbury Vale Multi-Cultural Centre, Friarscroft Way, Aylesbury HP20 2TE. A map of the venue can be displayed by clicking here.
