Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy Certificate in Couple and Family Therapy Level 1

University of Calgary

University of Calgary

www.ucalgary.ca

Post-Masters Certificate and Diploma in Couple and Family Therapy (CFT) professional certificates (Levels 1-2) and diploma, provide professionals holding master’s degrees in various disciplines (e.g. social work, nursing, psychology, counselling, public health, pastoral/theology, education) or degrees in law or family medicine or psychiatry with advanced practice skills in working with couples and families. The professional certificates and diploma in CFT allow working professionals to access professional development in a subject area that has not been available in Alberta for many years. We are provisionally accredited by the Canadian Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (CAMFT).

The program is offered online with a social work perspective to help families facing multiple stressors (e.g. unemployment, trauma, substance abuse, children’s diagnoses/difficulties, parenting, custodial issues) and/or are underserved.

The certificates at Levels 1 and 2 are each comprised of four courses, and are pre-requisites for the Diploma which is comprised of a 350 hour supervised practicum.

Admission Requirements

Admission Qualifications for Certificates (Levels 1 and 2) and the Diploma in Couple and Family Therapy

  1. Applicants must hold a master’s degree in a related helping profession, or an M.D. (Family Medicine or Psychiatry), or an undergraduate degree in law (LLB or JD), and a minimum GPA of 3.0. Approved master’s degrees include: Master of Social Work, Master of Nursing, MSc in Psychology, Master of Counselling, Master of Divinity (pastoral or theology), Master of Public Health, or master’s degrees or higher from the fields of education, psychiatry, business, pastoral/theology, or public health.  
  1. Applicants whose primary language is not English must demonstrate English language proficiency in one of the following ways:

          a)     Successful completion of a master’s degree program, in English, at an accredited  university. 

          b)     For applicants required to provide proof of proficiency in English: a minimum TOEFL score of 580 (paper-based) or 97 (Internet-based test); or IELTS score of 7.0; or MELAB score of 83; or Level 3 on the International Foundations Program (werklund.ucalgary.ca/ifp).

  1. The student’s level of commitment to the field of family therapy and how he/she envisions his/her professional career are both important to facilitate the faculty’s ability to mentor students through the rigorous and demanding educational experiences. Students need to be open to systemic, relational, and contextual approaches to working with families.
  2. Personal understanding, exploration, and expression of one’s own family-of-origin (extended family context) in a larger social, cultural, and environmental context are indicators of self-awareness. This contextual orientation in awareness includes reflecting on the influences of culture and gender both by way of constraints/barriers as well as resources in a student’s journey in becoming a practitioner.
Distance Delivery Options

The program is offered online with a social work perspective to help families facing multiple stressors (e.g. unemployment, trauma, substance abuse, children's diagnoses/difficulties, parenting, custodial issues) and/or are underserved.
