BACP accreditation is the mark of a high quality, professional practitioner training course. It guarantees a standard of training accepted for BACP membership, registration and accreditation. Our course accreditation scheme is temporarily closed and we’re not accepting any new applications at this time.

"I joined BACP to be the change that I wanted to see and I’m excited for the journey ahead."

Our accreditation routes recognise the wide variety of training pathways by which our members enter the profession and then continue to develop post-qualification.
