Basic units are offered in an extended form (over 20 weeks) with weekly groups from March/May to October/November, usually excluding school holidays, as well as in an intensive form (full time) over 10 weeks during summer. On some occasions times for extended units are varied to suit particular conditions.

Advanced Course:

This is a 400 hour unit similar in outline to a basic unit, but with advanced didactics and supervision. A pre-requisite is completion of a Basis Training Unit in CPE. Trainees are asked to prepare a case study and an essay on an appropriate topic. On completion of the unit they are interviewed for assessment at an advanced level.

Training in the advanced program may be incorporated within existing basic courses.
