The University College Chester
efa and University College Chester (UCCh) are now working in co-operation to offer Higher Education level accreditation in NLP, Integral Studies & The Enneagram.
Participants on many of our programmes now have the added option of registering with UCCh, one of few universities in the country offering awards in Work-Based & Integrative Studies. This means that you can earn credits towards a BA or an MA while attending efa’s INLPTA Master Practitioner.
In the future we intend offering these programmes separately for those who already have Master Practitioner status; they can also be presented In-House (please enquire to discuss this option). We are working towards extending this facility to more courses and eventually hope to be able to offer a full Masters degree in NLP and Integral Studies in the future.
Ken Wilber says of the Post Graduate Certificate In Integral Studies:
“These modules represent a welcome addition to Integral Studies internationally. Students can be confident that they will receive a comprehensive and relevant introduction to this area of work. I believe that Integral Studies is a growth area for the future and I wish you luck with these modules.”
