Hot off the Press
New Academic Year
We are already two months into the new Academic year and students are settling into their year groups. We are delighted for the first time to have two cohorts studying the Foundation Certificate in Transactional Analysis – such was the demand for places. Our Core Tutors, across all the years, are so impressed with the energy and commitment to hard work, that so many of the students are bringing to their weekends at Drumsheugh Gardens. We look forward to supporting and enabling their learning over the winter months.
The Scottish Transactional Analysis Association (STAA) needs you.
The STAA promotes the use of Transactional Analysis across Scotland for example by developing the TA community in Scotland and promoting the use of TA in psychology, education and business.
Please join or re-join the STAA! The STAA membership has fallen over the pandemic and they are keen to re-connect our TA community and to have an in-person Conference in 2023. Find out more about membership and how to join.
They also need Committee members – if you are interested in this, please contact them at mail@scottishta.org.uk
