TA originated in the 1950s with the work of Eric Berne, and in the present day provides in depth training leading to qualifications in 4 areas – education, organisational applications, psychotherapy and counselling. The TA 101 is the initial 12-hour course, which can stand-alone or provide the entry qualification for further TA training (available in Oxford, across Britain, and in many other countries). It 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.
At least one weekend option is available per term, and at least one weekday option per year (in 2008 at the Summer School in July) plus an extended version annually at the University of Oxford (over ten Monday mornings in the autumn). A variety of people attend for professional or personal reasons.
A written version of the TA 101 is also available which involves purchasing/reading core text & answering written questions for marking, also an individual TA 101 can be arranged by tutorial in person, e mail or by phone.
Bespoke TA 101s for a specific organisation or group can be tailored to a theme e.g. management, training, parenting, coaching or mental health.
This overview of core concepts takes a minimum of fourteen hours. A bespoke option for organisations to provide in-house can be arranged over three days, and is a useful way to build teams — organisations which have benefited from this include Virgin Trains, Currys, the Higher Education Funding Council, the RAF, Blue Space Consultancy. In addition we have provided tailor-made versions to complement other learning programmes such as the University of Bath’s coaching and mentoring training, and the Change Agents Skills and Strategies participants from the University of Surrey.
