New direction with ongoing professional training

July already, and half way through! And quite a lot has changed on the training front for me personally and professionally.

The MSc Psychology is complete and passed -  graduation officially on the 31st :)

The Edinburgh Uni certificate of education should hopefully also be done, need to wait a month or so for the final results, but I will be shocked if that is not passed too.

No funding was available for the MSc Research & PHd at the moment, due to all the cuts, so that goes on hold!

The TODO vocational course in Morita is complete, and was very useful and provided some new skills personally, and for client use.

Booked to do two courses now in October - both Open University so that I can complete them while still working full time. One philosophy and arts based as part of the degree I am doing in philosophy of the mind -  a different perspective to either psychology or psychotherapy. The other is politics based and looks at issues such as power in society, therefore examining the society in which clients must function.

Technically I am now registered for a BA (Hons) Open degree choosing psychology, politics and social science topics, and a BA (Hons) Philosophy and psychological studies degree with a fixed syllabus.  Should complete the first inside of 14 months, the other a year later :)

Also going to be doing additional research training with the NHS, and possibly with the OU Students Union regarding training and development.

No rest for the wicked :)
