Please note that this course will only run face-to-face - in the event of further restrictions preventing the workshop from taking place 'live', then participants will be able to attend the rescheduled course at no extra cost, or to claim a full refund.

We are delighted to offer this excellent opportunity to work closely with two highly respected TSTAs, Karen Minikin and John Renwick, both known for their experience in supporting and preparing candidates to meet key assessments and for their approachable, engaging styles. You will benefit from the breadth and range of their professional experience and knowledge, and receive constructive feedback, supervision and support. You will also be networking with your colleagues, sharing ideas in breakout groups and learning from one another.

This workshop is for:

• Those preparing to take their CTA or T/STA examination
• CTAs wanting to become a PTSTA and preparing for their TEW
• PTSTAs wanting to increase their TSTA ‘observed teaching’ and/or ‘live’ supervision on supervision’ hours
• Those considering their next professional step who want to know more about the assessment process

To offer maximum flexibility and opportunity participants will agree a group contract at the beginning of the workshop to determine the content and structure of the workshop.

Examples of content:

• CTA examination practice
• T/STA examination practice - all boards
• Presentation of client recordings
• Theory revision
• TEW preparation
• Discussion of supervision/teaching models, ethics and practice
• TSTA observed hours of ‘live’ teaching
• TSTA supervision of ‘live’ supervision
• Exploration of the philosophy underpinning your teaching, supervision and practice

Co-creative learning:

You might wish to consider participating in an approach called ‘cascade learning’. This will give you an excellent experience of multi-layered and co-created learning with your colleagues. For example:

Our recommendation is to come prepared to make the most of this excellent opportunity for two days of fulfilling and highly enjoyable professional development, focused feedback and supervision.

At the end of the course you will receive a Connexus Institute Certificate of Ongoing Professional Development, with a TSTA, for 15 hours. These hours can be counted towards CTA, PTSTA and T/STA examination requirements and/or CPD.
