Fees for our counselling and psychotherapy courses, are paid on an annual basis. Physis Scotland is committed to making training accessible and inclusive, therefore it may be possible for both new and existing students to arrange to spread the course fee over three termly instalments or alternatively ten-monthly instalments. If you feel you may wish to do this, please speak to us about this when you apply or register.
Once offered an unconditional place on Foundation Year, students are required to complete a registration form in order to formally accept and secure their place on the course. Equally, students progressing into Advanced clinical training are required to complete a registration form before the beginning of the new academic year to secure their place on the course. Please note, should a student choose to withdraw from the course upon confirmation and acceptance of a place, or prior to the end of the academic year, they will still be liable to pay the full year’s course fees.
