If you want to train as a counsellor or psychotherapist but don't know how to get started, please call us on 01455 883300 or email bacp@bacp.co.uk

Below is a complete, up-to-date list of all courses with current BACP accredited status.

It tells you:

  • Where the course is
  • Who provides it
  • Its official title
  • Course address, contact details and a weblink
  • When it was accredited
  • How it is delivered, e.g. full or part-time
  • Its orientation or model*
  • Validation or awarding body (NB this does not apply to universities) 

Find currently accredited courses:  search the list, below. It is always in date, so if a course is accredited by BACP it will be listed here. Most BACP accredited courses are delivered on a part-time basis. FULL-TIME courses run at Liverpool John Moore's University, Keele University, Preston College, University of East Anglia, University of Derby and University of Strathclyde.

Find previously accredited courses: search at 'PAGES' on the left. Here you will find courses thg at have closed, are closing, are not taking on students at this time or those have since changed into a different accredited course.

Got a question? We have a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help those who are searching for an accredited training course or graduates who have questions about their qualification's status with BACP. To access the list, go to 'PAGES' on the left. PLEASE NOTE: questions about how to train, what course to do next or what it means to do an accredited or non-accredited training should go to Customer Services bacp@bacp.co.uk or you can call 01455 883300.

Quite a few people call us about alledged accredited courses that don't appear on our listings. It's simple - if it doesn't appear on the accredited courses listings, it is not/has not been accredited by BACP (even if you have been told by someone that it is!).

Only courses that have completed the accreditation process and received confirmation of their accreditayined status may include the words "BACP Accredited Course" in their publicity material or use the 'Course Accredited by BACP' logo. Other courses should not include in any publicity material their intention to apply or even that they have applied for accreditation; applications may, in some cases be withdrawn, be unsuccessful, or encounter delays during the process.
