The Course was ok for someone who has a little idea about the subject, but not for beginners. Some more tools, resources, visuals forms and other concrete resources would be helpful. More pictures and representations could be added.

The iGCBT™ Certified CBT Practitioner course has been a game-changer for my professional practice. This program offers a clear, structured pathway to becoming an internationally recognized CBT Practitioner, moving far beyond simple theory into deep, practical application. I walked away with a robust set of actual CBT tools that I can immediately use to assist clients with their specific presenting issues. The course provides a profound understanding of the motivations that drive behavior, which is essential for helping clients develop effective, lasting strategies. I particularly valued the focus on tasking strategies. Learning how to develop actionable post-session exercises ensures that therapeutic work continues effectively between meetings. Whether you are a coach or a therapist, the curriculum significantly enhances your ability to help others effectively. What truly distinguishes this experience, however, is the instructor, Matt Barnett. I want to give a special mention to the incredible support he provides. Matt truly went the extra mile to personally assist me with technical issues regarding my digital certificates and site links. It is rare to find an instructor who is not only a master of their craft but also so dedicated to their students' success that they handle technical hurdles with such speed and professionalism. This level of care makes the investment entirely worth it. If you want high-quality training from an instructor who truly has your back, look no further. Highly recommended!

I really liked the step by step approach as it enables us to grasp and easily remember different concepts. Also, the real time examples conveyed has been helpful in getting clarity about each concept.

It would be better with more practical examples. Dialogues with imaginary clients. There are spoken bits that describe tables and worksheets used and visual representations of these would be helpful rather than having to construct them in the imagination of on note paper. Also it could be better if there would be a section on Active listening techniques, looking at: reflection, probing, summarizing, open and closed questions and examples of them. Maybe an exercise in which the user guesses which certain lines in a dialogue are examples of and practices responses to certain things clients might say.

This was a fantastic course that exceeded my expectations. It was well presented, easy to understand, and full of invaluable information. I have learned a lot from this course, and I look forward to integrating what I have learned into my practice.

This is a great course to get a base understanding of CBT. Matthew did a great job setting expectations of what the course delivers, delivering very well-thought material, and providing a great foundational understanding that can be built upon.

Course needs proofreading. Many typing & spelling errors. Some modules have wrong numbering and seem out-of-order. Course continues to have good information but the info is very brief & basic. Hoping that future lessons will be more in depth.
