Extract

Preliminary work in assessing the competency of trainees attending a cognitive behaviour therapy course is presented. Inter-rater reliability of the Cognitive Therapy Scale to assess competency in therapy is considered satisfactory at the overall competency level. Item reliabilities are promising. Although the power of this pilot design is weak, the competency scale showed a trend towards improvement over the course of training.
