TA TRAINING

TA 101

The 101 Course is the officially recognised introductory course in TA. It covers an internationally agreed syllabus including the full range of TA concepts and shows how these can be applied in social, family, educational and organisational settings. Participants receive a 101 Verification Certificate and qualify to apply for regular membership of the International and SA Transactional Analysis Associations. The 101 course forms the first level of qualification as a Certified Transactional Analyst.

Participants will learn the key concepts of TA and how to apply them in their personal and professional lives to develop:

• Communication skills for healthy relationships
  
  
• Motivation skills to support individual and group aspirations
  
  
• Emotional intelligence to enrich all aspects of life
  
  
• Assertiveness skills for leadership that empowers
  
  
• Stress management skills and setting boundaries to manage self
  
  
• Time management skills to optimise working together in groups and teams
  
  
• Problem solving skills to promote peaceful decision-making
  
  

The workshops are experiential and there is ample time for participants to make sense of the concepts by applying them to their particular situations and so begin integrating them into their lived experience.

This is a 12 hour workshop run over two consecutive days or 3 hours a week for four weeks.

• 23rd & 24th April 2013 Cape Town 9am - 5pm

The primary focus of this year is to deepen and add detail to the main TA concepts already presented in the TA 101, to build a solid foundation level knowledge of TA and to provide continuing opportunity for personal growth and development. There will be time for group work, role play and reflection to enable integration of the concepts. Each module there will be time for supervision to enable you to develop how you use the TA concepts, either with yourself or others. This year will afford 108 hours of accredited TA training. It can stand alone or count towards the 300 hours of TA training needed for the Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) qualification.

The modules will run on a Friday evening (6pm to 9pm) and on the next day, Saturday (9am to 5pm)

Together with a team of TA educators, I offer an internationally linked TA certificate for both educators and learners in schools through the Institute of Developmental Transactional Analysis (IDTA).

The Transactional Analysis Proficiency Award for Teachers and Educators (TAPATE) runs over 2 terms. Teachers experientially learn 10 TA concepts. They choose 6 concepts that make the most impact in their life and work in the classroom and prepare a portfoio of evidence showing how they have used these concepts. The international awards are presented by an international TA moderator at a Celebration Day, based not on a pass or fail system; instead the emphasis is on acknowledging the involvement of candidates in a TA-based learning process.

The Transactional Analysis Proficiency Award for Children and Young Adults (TAPACY) is the next phase where the teachers teach the TA concepts to their learners as part of the Life Orientation curriculum. The learners likewise collect a portfolio of evidence showing their use of 6 TA concepts in the classroom, playground and at home and receive their international certificate and badge at their own Celebration Day.

We suggest that a few schools cluster to enable peer learning and encouragment to strengthen the process.

TA offers both educators and learners alike the emotional understanding and language to enable schools to become centres of excellence in learning. These attitudes, knowledge and skills then also impact families and communities.
