Accredited with COSRT Levels
COSRT accredits training courses that cover themes integral to good quality Psychosexual and Relationship Therapy practice. The knowledge gained during these courses contributes to increasing practitioner skills and knowledge. These courses all lead to a form of qualification after assessment. However, completion of these courses do not lead to eligibility for the COSRT Registers.
From October 2021 Thematic Training courses are assigned levels that reflect how advanced content and learning outcomes are. These ‘COSRT Levels’ range from one to seven and are informed by the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), European Qualification Framework (EQF), and QAA benchmark standards for counselling and psychotherapy.
Courses accredited under this ‘level’ system also have verified Guided Learning and Total Qualification Time hours. Guided Learning is the amount of learning activity under the immediate guidance or supervision of a lecturer, supervisor, tutor or other appropriate providers of education or training. The Total Qualification Time refers to how much time it would take an average learner to complete the course
