Summit Courses

What our learners say

I love how the various practices were presented — very detailed and comprehensive — then supported with case studies as examples. Everything is so useful! I was feeling very stuck with a particular client but now I see that I actually have a lot of other materials (interviews, observations) that I can work from. SO GOOD!!!
— Lisa
Well presented, thorough and informative. I feel like this will deepen my practice and has refined some of my current knowledge.
— Barbara
This course really gave me a good understanding of how to gather information about a person's BOC and how to put it all together in a PBSP. It was easy to follow and very simple to use. This course also kept me interested and didn't go on with a lot of jargon.
— Tania
