Professional Excellence

Workshop (PEW)


About the Course

Do you want to enhance your professional skills in TA? Then the Professional Excellence Workshops are for you!

The PEWs – run regularly twice per year since 1992 – have been a “springboard” from which many participants have gone on to gain success in EATA/ITAA examinations, both CTA and T/STA.

The workshops have also proved their value as preparation for the EATA/ITAA Training Endorsement Workshop (TEW).

Whether or not you have an exam or TEW in view, these workshops offer you an excellent opportunity for advanced training and supervision. You will have the chance to sharpen your TA skills, and network with colleagues, in a supportive group setting.

  • Who is it for?

    CTA trainees and qualified TA professionals.

  • Qualification and Accreditation

    CTA trainees can log the hours spent at the PEW as Advanced TA Training and/or Supervision, as specified in EATA regulations. The total duration to be logged for the 3-day workshop is 24 hours. Qualified TA professionals can count the hours as CPD.

  • Course Content

    Workshop activities typically include:

    • multi-level supervision;
    • tape presentation;
    • discussion of theory and ethics;
    • practice exams (CTA or TSTA);
    • supervised teaching;
    • personal work.

    Personal therapy time is available, within contractual boundaries, as an integral part of the PEW. This gives you the opportunity, if you wish, to deal immediately with any personal issues that may arise for you in the course of the day’s work.

  • Eligibility and Entry

    CTA trainees and qualified TA professional can apply.

Our Core Philosophy

At The Berne Institute we recognise that people come into TA training with widely differing experiences of clinical practice, theoretical knowledge and formal academic learning, and that they differ widely also in their current personal resources and skills. Our courses therefore honour the uniqueness of each individual’s learning and experience and their different learning styles, pace and areas of competence.

The philosophy and practice of Homonomy that respects our mutuality and interconnectedness has been recently integrated into the Berne Institute philosophy. The aim is to expand the focus in our theory and practice from individual change to include a focus on the wider implications of our work on the whole community and our planet.
