Health Education England carry out an annual scoping, usually in the Spring, asking eligible services if they wish their staff to be allocated places on this programme. Services will then request places and HEE will consider those requests in their allocation. Application forms are circulated to those services, usually in November of each year, and service managers then support applications from relevant staff. The deadline for applications is usually January, and the programme normally runs from March each year. There are no formal interviews for the programme, although applicants may be contacted for clarification if their application doesn’t appear to meet entry criteria (trained and qualified in CBT, Accredited in CBT, currently in a supervisory role in an eligible service).

We are happy to answer questions related to the course itself, but unfortunately are unable to provide any general career advice.
