Training & education

Go deeper through structured learning.

Explore planned pathways for learners who want a coherent programme of study rather than individual resources.

Start with the question or situation that brought you here. You can explore without having to know the explanation first.

Watercolour learning pathway progressing through foundations, development, application, reflection and advanced professional learning.

Start with what is happening

What brought you here?

I want structured foundation study

Explore the planned Level 7 pathway designed to build recognised, coherent foundations.

I am interested in postgraduate study

Explore the planned Level 9 interdisciplinary pathway for advanced learning.

I want shorter professional learning

Future short courses and professional development can sit alongside formal pathways.

I want to understand likely study progression

See how foundations can lead towards deeper theoretical and applied work.

I want learning linked to practice

Future programmes will connect science, formulation, cases and practical application.

I want updates as programmes develop

Programme information will become more specific only as formal arrangements are established.

A way through

Understanding before intervention.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Look beneath what you can see and begin with the whole person.

  2. 02

    Explore

    Consider the systems, experiences and conditions that may matter.

  3. 03

    Consider

    Bring the pieces together without assuming one explanation is the answer.

  4. 04

    Find a way forward

    Use understanding to guide supportive next steps and useful resources.

Explore

What might be relevant?

Different domains can interact. These are places to explore, not conclusions about the person.

Foundation study

Structured introduction to the science and principles underpinning the ecosystem.

Advanced study

Deeper interdisciplinary theoretical and applied learning.

Case learning

Apply concepts to complex realistic situations.

Formulation

Develop disciplined ways to integrate information without premature conclusions.

Professional development

Future shorter learning routes for continuing development.

Progression

Understand how different learning depths can connect over time.

The person

Consider

No single piece necessarily explains behaviour.

Understanding develops when we consider how different conditions may interact for this person, in this context, at this time.

Possible contributors are hypotheses to explore, not conclusions about the person.

Resources to help you understand more.

This pathway is being prepared for structured resources as the ecosystem develops.

Programme development is ongoing. No claim of QQI validation or accreditation is made at this stage.

Educational information

These resources can help deepen understanding of what may be worth considering. They do not determine why a particular person is behaving in a particular way and do not replace individual clinical assessment, diagnosis, medical advice, safeguarding or other appropriately qualified professional support.
