Yes, we regularly conduct both in-person and online trainings around the world. Please contact our team today to see how you can bring CBT and CT-R training to your workplace.

We do not provide continuing education credits for training at organizations. Some organizations decide to get credits through a local university or other credentialing source. It is also our understanding that some licensing boards accept a certain number of hours of continuing education that are not approved in advance, *but it is up to the individual participant to submit proof of attendance to their licensing board. If the licensing board allows for this, the licensing board makes the determination on whether credits will be counted.

We typically schedule workshops 3-4 months in advance.

No, we do not allow audio or video recordings of trainings.

Yes, Beck Institute will provide handouts to the organization five days in advance of the training, electronically. The organization is responsible for making hard copies of handouts and distributing handouts to participants.

This depends on whether your training is online, in-person, or a combination of both. Generally, organizations seeking in-person training with BI need to secure a space to host the training in, all audio-visual and presentation equipment, and the staff who will receive the training. For online training, organizations must provide BI with a list of names and email addresses for all staff who will receive training.

CE Credits

Continuing Education (CE) credits are required by many US states to demonstrate continued learning in your professional field. Depending on the state in which you live, it may be mandatory to obtain a certain number of CE credits annually to maintain licensure.

Praxis does not grant credit retroactively. All CE requirements must be fulfilled within 30 days of the training's conclusion.

Beck Institute supervisors are highly skilled cognitive therapists who have who have met the rigorous standards to become Beck Institute faculty members. You will be matched with a Beck Institute supervisor based on your treatment specialty.

Throughout your 10-session term of Supervision, your supervisor will rate your therapy recordings using the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale (CTRS). In order to successfully complete your term and receive a certificate of completion, you must obtain three scores of 44 or above and be recommended by your supervisor. You must attend all 10 sessions and submit at least nine recordings.

Trainees who do not reach competency receive a letter of participation and may enroll in additional terms.

Only completed terms of supervision that meet the requirements above will be considered eligible for your Beck CBT Certification.

All Beck Institute Supervision takes place remotely, through a HIPAA compliant Zoom account.

Beck Institute will provide you with a copy of the Cognitive Therapy Rating Scale (CTRS) and CTRS Manual, a Cognitive Therapy Worksheet Packet, a Beck Institute Supervisee Protocol, access to a secure file sending service to send your recordings, and a sample consent form to use with your clients. You will also be provided with copies of Beck scales (BDI, BAI, and BHS ).

Please note, the BDI, BAI, BHS, and all Beck Scales are owned by Pearson Assessments and are provided as a special courtesy as part of your participation in the Beck Institute Supervision Program. They are only to be used with clients with whom you are working within the scope of the Beck Institute Supervision Program. Otherwise you will be in violation of copyright laws.

However, instead of recordings of therapy sessions, you will send your supervisor recordings in which you are supervising your own trainees. You will then receive feedback from your Beck Institute supervisor on how to become a more effective CBT supervisor.

Assuming you successfully passed supervision at the expected standard during which your supervision took place, your supervision term will be eligible to meet the Beck Institute Certification requirements. However, before proceeding to your Certification Work Sample submission, it is strongly recommended that you participate in an additional half-term of Beck Institute Supervision.

Please contact supervision@beckinstitute.org in order to request a half-term of supervision.
If you opt not to participate in a half-term of supervision, and fail to obtain a passing score of 44 on your work sample submission, you must then complete a full-term of supervision in order to be eligible to re-submit your Certification work sample.

The additional course requirements for the Beck Institute CBT Certified Master Clinician level include advanced coursework on topics of the applicant's choosing.
