This programme is a work-based, very practical programme for those wishing to develop their competence in the professional application of transactional analysis, as developers (e.g coach, counsellor, teacher, trainer, facilitator, consultant, mediator, social worker, human resource professional or as psychotherapists). The programme is based on attendance of interactive webinars, with occasional attendance at workshops, alongside professional application of the TA which is evidenced in portfolios and case studies, plus professional supervision, and takes 3-4 years, although it can be spread over a longer period if necessary. The programme is structured in the form of various modules that represent the ways in which TA is applied professionally, with a first level focus on the wide range of TA concepts, the second level extending this to consider the contextual implications, and the final level involving the presentation of a case study of a significant intervention that has been conducted as a researcher/practitioner. The way the programme is structured means that there is considerable flexibility for students to determine their own ways of using TA within their professional role; there are no invented projects being done just for the sake of getting a qualification. For the MSc, it is anticipated that students will begin by undertaking the Certificate and Diploma levels, which represent half of the MSc requirements; however, those who already hold international TA qualifications may be able to go straight to the MSc level on the basis of accreditation of prior learning. The CTA international TA accreditation forms an optional extra for students who have already completed the MSc, or an alternative for those who are not seeking a UK university accreditation. For coaches, the programme can fulfil the academic requirements for the European Mentoring & Coaching Council accreditation as Master Practitioner ( EMCC EIA Master Practitioner). The first year of the programme is also appropriate for professionals who already have enough (non-TA) qualifications but would like to add transactional analysis to their repertoire and obtain DTA Practitioner accreditation, for managers wishing to obtain Chartered Manager status or an ILM Diploma in Leadership & Management, and for anyone who wants to develop their own interpersonal skills and increase their understanding and awareness of the dynamics of childhood development, relationships, teams, families, organisations, institutions, communities.
