The second and third assignments each comprise nine questions and an audio tape. The aim of the two audio tapes is to demonstrate the course participant s ability to apply some of the basic principles of Rational Emotive Behavioural Counselling in a counselling interview with a friend, peer or client.

Written assignments are normally submitted as email attachments. Exceptionally, they may be submitted by normal mail, by sending a stamped and self-addressed envelope for return post. Audio tapes are to be submitted, in a padded envelope, to ABC Coaching Academy, 27 Wood End, Keighley Road, Hebden Bridge, HX7 8HJ, West Yorkshire, and include a self-addressed padded envelope for its return. ( Returned tapes are a combination of student session extracts and immediate developmental feedback).

The set books costs about 18. 99 GBP (or $US36. 95), and 8. 00 GBP (or $US15), respectively; and can be bought from Amazon. com. The book titles and Amazon links are provided with the first assignment.

10 GBP per audio tape for listening to and providing audio feedback on two audio tapes, during Assignments 2 and 3.

(You could, alternatively, pay via PayPal, to abc4rebt aol. com, if you have a PayPal account; or send a sterling cheque (from inside the UK), or an International Money Order (from outside the UK), made payable to ABC Coaching and Counselling Services , and posted to the ABC Coaching Academy, 27 Wood End, Keighley Road, Hebden Bridge, HX7 8HJ, West Yorkshire, UK.

Assignments, which comprise nine or ten questions, are usually submitted as email attachments. They are marked as quickly as possible, normally within three to six days; and returned to the participant, along with the next assignment paper (provided the appropriate fee has been received). A reasonable amount of developmental feedback is normally provided including on the audio tapes; and this varies from participant to participant, depending upon their needs. A small amount of tutorial support - of about 10 to 15 minutes per assignment - is available by email, if needed. In the case of more serious difficulties, a brief tutorial may be arranged using Instant Messaging or telephone contact.

Recent change: There are now strict deadlines for the submission of assignments, to support participants. (Not having deadlines was making it difficult for some participants to discipline themselves to get down to their studies). You will be expected to submit each assignment 28 days after receiving it. If you become ill or have a personal crisis that interferes with this submission timeframe, then you can apply for a two week extension. If you fail to submit within that timeframe, no further extensions can be arranged, unless special compassionate grounds exist.

The Primary Certificate in Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural Counselling is awarded upon successful completion of the course. There are no degrees of success: just pass or fail. There is no reason why anyone should fail this course, given a reasonable level of commitment and effort, and the support of Jim Byrne.
