Prerequisites
No educational prerequisite is required for the study of Choice Theory and Reality Therapy Certification.
Who should attend?
The study of Choice Theory, Reality Theory and Lead Management has been proven useful to many individuals in enriching their personal lives.
In the professional setting, our trainings are designed for professionals who are engaged in a people-oriented work environment. Among our students are counsellors, teachers, administrators, social workers, nurses, therapists, probation officers and business leaders ~ anyone who manages, teaches, counsels or supervises others.
Much as the concepts of Choice Theory, Reality Theory and Lead management are not difficult to learn, supervised training is required in order to achieve a good practical grasp of the approach.
Course Outline
Stage 1: Basic Intensive Training
Basic Intensive Training (BIT) is the first stage in the five-step training pathway in Choice Theory and Reality Therapy.
You will be introduced to the core concepts of Choice Theory — including basic needs, the Quality World, total behaviour, and the central role of choice in shaping our actions and relationships. This programme also lays the groundwork for the principles and practice of Reality Therapy, with an emphasis on building meaningful connections, strengthening internal motivation, and supporting responsible decision-making in everyday life
Duration: 3 or 4 days*

Prerequisite: None required
Stage 2: Basic Practicum
The Basic Practicum is the second step of your journey in the certification process. You have gained basic knowledge and skills in your Basic Intensive Training. During the Basic Practicum, you will deepen your understanding of the newly acquired skills from the Basic Intensive Training. The practicum consists of a minimum of 30 hours, of which 18 hours must be of face-to-face direct contact with your Practicum Supervisor.
