We are delighted to offer this internationally accredited TA101 Introduction to Transactional Analysis course, online.  Participants can join us from the comfort of your own home, from where ever you are located across the globe.

Transactional Analysis (TA) is an amazingly powerful psychological theory that has the surprising quality of being easily accessible for the newcomer, yet with a depth and complexity that can fascinate and satisfy practitioners for a lifetime.

TA is a powerful system of psychological models that can be used to understand and work with our personal and interpersonal dynamics in the workplace, in personal relationships, and in educational and training settings.

TA enables us to identify quickly and clearly:

• where breakdowns in communication are taking place
• where there are blocks to learning and development
• where there are unrealised potentials within a team
• how an organisation can maximise opportunities to achieve its potential
• how to increase cooperation, collaboration and productivity within and across teams
• what are our personal blocks to success and happiness

TA also offers simple tools for making long lasting and far reaching change at a personal level, and across systems and organisations, enabling creativity, problem solving, effective communication and development. TA is used by management consultants, counsellors and psychotherapists, and educators.

This two day TA101 course will provide you with a dynamic and interactive experience which will:

• introduce you to the key theory of personality, communication and development
• enable you to apply the theory to situations in your work and personal relationships
• entitle you to receive the internationally recognised TA101 Certificate which is a prerequisite for anyone wishing to train further in TA.

We will be delivering the course by Zoom which will allow time for experiential work in break out rooms.  Delegates can communicate with the trainers both by voice and text via the online chat box.
