Courses are generally run on the basis of one intensive class day per month on a weekend. In addition, students meet once a month with fellow students for practice sessions, which are arranged flexibly, and can be evenings or weekends. Chrysalis has found that this timetable structure means that people can easily fit the course around work and family commitments. Other courses meet weekly - usually a weekday evening - but our course structure means that you see us for the same amount of time with much less travel. Also, we run our courses throughout the year with the exception of August and late December, rather than following 'term times'. This ensures a sense of continuity while training.
"At Chrysalis, my tutor has shown me how the combination of both humour and humanity can be powerfully relevant in the making of an effective therapist and teacher."
Keith Pollard, Chrysalis graduate
Your brochure will provide you with exact dates and the location of your nearest course. Courses normally start in the venue where you attend interview. Although our main offices are in Bridgwater, courses are held in many different locations. (Please note, although we run courses at universities, they are not part of the university syllabus.) Enrolment is several months in advance in order to begin some preparatory work, secure funding, and make sure you have a place reserved as our courses are routinely over-subscribed.
