Training and Training Institutes
Training in TA is available to new or established professionals who are seeking to develop and/or strengthen their skills, as well as those who are seeking to develop new career options.
The first step is to take a TA101 Course, the official introduction to TA [link to page], which follows an internationally agreed syllabus and covers basic TA theory and concepts, and is a requirement for further and/or advanced TA training.
At present, in Aotearoa New Zealand, training to become a certified transactional analyst is only available in the applications of psychotherapy [link to page], and organisations [link to page].
