the official introduction to Transactional Analysis (TA101)

“TA is a theory of communication which can be extended to analysing systems and organisations.”

TA originated in the 1950s with the work of Eric Berne, and in the present day provides in-depth training leading to qualifications in four areas — education, organisational applications, psychotherapy and counselling. All four areas are available through TA Works.

The TA 101 is the initial 12+ hour course, which can stand alone or provide the entry qualification for further training (available in Oxford, across Britain and in many other countries), continuing, if wished, to qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy, organisational or educational applications;. The TA 101 provides an overview of TA concepts, examples of application and opportunities for you to apply in your own context.

The set TA 101 syllabus includes all the central concepts within TA, illustrating how people interact and the development of personality. This internationally certificated programme is necessary to go on to any other training.

An annual extended programme each autumn includes assessment to earn CATS, with a different fee structure, at University of Oxford Department of Continuing Education. Ten Monday mornings in the autumn.

A written version of the TA 101 is also available which involves purchasing/reading core text & answering written questions for marking, plus a tutorial in person, by e-mail or phone. Contact TAworks 01865 250 528

Bespoke TA 101 over 3 days: for specific organisation or group — can be tailored to a theme (e.g. management, leadership training, parenting, coaching, mental health).

Who is this TA 101 programme for?

Anyone. People find it provides both personal learning and direct tools for their work; for example: counsellors, managers, parents and teachers.
