Recordings of you teaching a recent 8-week MBCT course

It is your responsibility to send us recordings in which you are visible and both you and your participants are audible. Recordings which do not meet these criteria cannot be assessed.

There are various ways you can share your recordings with us. Further details are in the handbook "Applying for an Assessment of Competency to Teach MBCT for NHS Talking Therapies Trainees".

If you are able to share your recordings via our secure cloud storage platform, please contact the Competency Assessment administrator at mbi.tacadmin@oxfordmindfulness.org to arrange this.

Or you can post them on a memory stick to:
OMF Competency Assessment, PO Box 228, BANGOR, LL57 9EU.
We strongly recommend that you keep your own copies and that you use a secure delivery service or courier.

If your Trust's Information Governance requirements do not allow either of the above methods, please contact the Competency Assessment administrator to arrange an alternative method.

To proceed you must have the consent of all of your course participants. Do you have this consent?
