Part 2 – bringing it all together

Part 2 consists of ten days of intensive but enjoyable training. The two separate weeks are held approximately a month apart and include plenty of therapeutic practice as well as the opportunity to observe sessions given by HG tutors with real patients.

The profound teaching style and practical approach is highly stimulating and generates much extra-curricular thought and discussion. The tutors create a supportive learning environment so that everyone is able to make the most of the two weeks. Students often tell us that they find the whole learning experience inspiring and helpful, for both personal and professional reasons, and enjoy meeting and working closely with like-minded people – many of whom become friends for life!

During both weeks you will have plenty of opportunity to expand upon and consolidate the knowledge and skills you have obtained on the Part 1 courses (there are many practical one-to-one and group exercises) and learn how to subtly combine them into powerful therapy sessions that will empower those you work with to take back control of their lives.

This supervised training (the tutors are assisted by course facilitators, who are Diploma graduates using the human givens approach in their work) ensures that you absorb what you need to know to work as effectively as possible.

As well as the lectures, discussions, therapy demonstrations and practical exercises, there is a comprehensive Diploma Manual, which students are expected to have read in full before attending the first week, and a course reading list.

Throughout the two weeks students are continually assessed, and there is a 2-hour written examination at the end of the final week. (If you have any concerns about taking an exam, please contact us to discuss what options are available to help you.) After the course, students receive a constructive assessment feedback report along with their results.

Qualification

Once you have successfully completed both Parts 1 & 2 you will be awarded the Human Givens Diploma (HG.Dip.).  You can choose to stop after Part 2 or continue to fully qualified Practitioner Level: Part 3.

Please note:  If you intend to see clients after Part 2, or whilst working towards Part 3 and completing the full Practitioner Level Diploma, you will need to join the HGI as a Trainee Member and must always make your trainee status clear by calling yourself HG.Dip.P.(Trainee).

Your route to an Accredited Register

Once you’ve successfully completed Part 2 of the Human Givens Diploma, you can proceed to the Practitioner Level Qualification: Part 3.

Passing this practical assessment of competence enables you to become a Registered Membership of the HGI and be entered on the Professional Register of Human Givens Therapists, which is accredited in the UK by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA).

It is recommended that all counsellors and therapists belong to an Accredited Register which is recognised by the Professional Standards Authority – an independent statutory body established to protect the public through its work with organisations that register and regulate people working in health and social care. Accountable to the UK Parliament, its reports help Parliament monitor and improve the protection of the public.

The NHS has recently updated their employment information, and now seeks counsellors who are on an Accredited Register, such as ours.

NHS Choices under ‘Finding a qualified therapist’ states that “reputable therapists will be registered with a professional organisation that’s been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) – this means they have met the PSA’s required professional standards to practice”. On their page about professional accreditation, NHS Employers NHS Employers talk about the importance and benefits of belonging to an Accredited Register, view here.

Health Education England, on the NHS Health Careers website, also highlights the importance of PSA Accredited Registers under ‘Entry Requirements and Training’.
