Online Exam Completion Group

Are you looking for a way to stay focussed, motivated and continue your UKCP Registration and/or CTA journey at your own pace? Join a Physis Scotland Online Exam Completion Group starting September 2026.

Registration Form

Maintaining focus and motivation in the exam prep period can often prove challenging for students when they have completed their formal TA training. To this end, Physis Scotland is delighted to announce we will be offering an online Exam Completion Group (eight days over eleven months) starting in September to support students who are preparing for their UKCP Registration and/or CTA exam. The group will be facilitated by Andy Williams, TSTA.

About the group

The group will be open to trainees who have completed four years of core TA training. It will be a closed group for the academic year, with a maximum of ten members.

Group participants will need to complete a new registration form each academic year to secure their place in the group moving forward. Should anybody choose not to continue in the group before the start of the new academic year, other people will be able to apply to join the group.

All members of the groups will be in regular clinical supervision and will be engaged in preparation for their UKCP Registration and/or CTA exam.

The format is structured to focus on the skills and tasks of the CTA exam process, whilst enable you to feel confident in demonstrating your work as a counsellor and/or psychotherapist.

Joining an Exam Completion/CPD Group will enable you to:

Do transactional analysis through presentation and analysis of tapes.

Develop your identity as a practitioner through presentations of theory of your own choice/interest.

Extend your knowledge of TA and the psychotherapeutic process through planned teaching by your trainer.

Feel stimulated, stretched, focussed, and motivated as you work towards achieving your goal.

Supervise each other’s practice – a fantastic way to develop a meta-view of psychotherapeutic work.

Familiarise yourself with the UKATA/UKCP/CTA oral exam processes.

Receive group support and discussion about the UKATA/UKCP/CTA Written Exam preparation.

Participate in a mock exam – either candidate or examiner.

Learn tools and techniques to help you manage any anxiety around being observed and assessed.

Discuss ethical dilemmas.

Consider practical issues such as which recording equipment to use.

Familiarise yourself with the marking criteria.

Receive supervision on the exam process.

The content of the days will be contracted for at the beginning of each day, depending on the needs and wants of the group members.
