Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

Currently, no official body in Malta regulates a psychotherapist’s commitment to Continuous Professional Development (CPD), even though regulating this is in the pipeline. In view of this, EAPTI-GPTIM recommends following the standards established by the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) of which our higher education institution is a member. Psychotherapists who are EAGT and/or EAP certified practitioners and members, are obliged to maintain CPD accordingly for renewal of certification.

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
as established by the EAP

​

You are required to complete an average of 50 hours per annum of CPD (total of 250 hours over a period of the last 5 years). This CPD can be taken in the following forms:

​

a) Advanced or additional professional psychotherapy courses

(Please list these, include detail of the provider (institute) and a synopsis of the course, and indicate the number of hours for each course on a separate sheet.)

​

b) Professional supervision for psychotherapy practice/clinical/group work and peer supervision

(Please indicate this on a separate sheet with name of supervisor/institute, hours of supervision, and the total of number of hours.)


c) Psychotherapy conference / symposium attendance

(Please list title, date and organisation for each on a separate sheet and indicate number of hours of session time attended in each. Please attach copies of all conference attendance certificates.)


d) Professional activities in psychotherapy.

(Being elected to a Board or a Committee and attending meetings. Please indicate organisation, dates of committee/board meetings, and number of formal hours of each meeting.)


e) Participation in extra psychotherapy training as a supervisor/researcher/teacher.

​

Minimum 250 hours shall consist of no more than 75 hours from any one category.
