Current Courses

The BICA Training Group offers a range of workshops and courses that aim to promote best practice amongst professionals who work with people affected by infertility. These are variously designed to meet the training needs of counsellors and therapists who are already specialising in the field of infertility or wish to do so, or those whose work includes some clients with fertility issues, and of doctors, embryologists, nurses and support staff in the multidisciplinary clinic team. We also provide training for other organisations in related fields in the UK and overseas.

All members of the Training Group are accredited and experienced infertility counsellors. Our approach is to balance direct teaching with experiential learning and ample room for reflection and discussion.
