Core Teaching will consist of lectures, seminars and practicums, with reflective practice (applied Logotherapy) and self-care (utilising Logotherapy for the therapist) as an integral part of the programme. Teaching is currently exclusively provided by remote learning via Zoom or MSTeams.

There are 4 contiguous semesters in total, with students expected to attend classes as follows:

• 2 x 6hr sessions at the beginning of each semester.
• 1 x 6hr session per month (scheduled for Saturdays) during each semester.
• The course will be completed in 18 months.
• There will be a total of 120 hours of learning (72 hrs face-to-face; 48 hrs self-directed Learning), which will consist of interactive lectures, case studies, practicums and reflective practice. Students will be expected to explore meaningfully how they will integrate what they have learned into their current therapeutic practice, as well as being able to apply Logotherapy as a standalone therapy, safely and effectively.

Our ethos is summed up in the words of John Dewey: ‘we do not learn from experience….we learn from reflecting on experience’.

Students are expected to attend at least 80% of classes, with discretion for those who have legitimate reasons for not reaching this figure. In any case, students are required to complete a 750 word reflective piece at the end of each semester; this will be read by the tutor, and discussed with the student, but will not be graded. The aim is to enhance clinical skills via meaningful reflective practice.
