Five Year Training Program

The Gestalt Training Program consists of five years of part-time study on evenings and weekends. The program is scheduled between the months of September and April, followed by a five-day residential workshop in a country setting early in May for Year One, Two and Three, and in June for Year Four and the One-Year Training for Professionals group.
The first two years of The Five Year Training Program may be taken for intensive personal growth for students not intending to go forward into the Professional Development Training of Year Three, Four and Five, which are geared to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist. Years One and Two, or equivalent, are prerequisite training for entrance to Year Three through Five.
The Gestalt Institute of Toronto’s training programs continue to be committed to experiential and experimental learning within group process, an approach that has been our trademark since 1973. Real change is possible in a diverse group coming together to support each other and the process. We are committed to shared agreements to speak the language of responsibility, to the principle that self-acceptance leads to greater acceptance of the other, to a willingness to make mistakes in the presence of others and to the awareness that we are each an implicit part of everything that occurs in our shared reality and therefore any change in pattern of one person affects the entire group.
