Overview
Course overview
Treatment Educator with a CBT specialisation is a certified online training that deepens your knowledge of treatment-pedagogical work, with cognitive behavioural therapy as its theoretical foundation.
The training prepares you for skilled work with children, young people and adults in treatment, social work and educational settings. You come away with tools from CBT for structuring treatment interventions, carrying out functional analyses and working with behavioural change.
With a clear therapeutic CBT specialisation, the course ties together pedagogy, counselling methodology and evidence-based methods. You practise case formulation, treatment planning and motivational interviewing (MI), and learn to apply it in day-to-day work in residential care, foster homes and social psychiatry.
The course runs entirely online with a flexible start and study pace. You complete the training at your own pace, within 6 to 12 months.
A therapeutic CBT specialisation – for work in residential care and foster homes
The course combines treatment pedagogy with evidence-based CBT tools and motivational interviewing (MI). You get a toolkit you can actually use: structured treatment planning, behavioural analysis and supportive conversation with children, young people and adults, tailored for settings such as residential care, foster homes and social psychiatry.

Career transition support via CSNHow career transition study support can fund your training
On 1 October 2022 the career transition study support (omställningsstudiestöd) was introduced to strengthen employees' position in the labour market. The support makes it possible for more people to invest in professional development, and several of our students study with us thanks to it.
What is career transition support?
Career transition support helps both employees and organisations manage changes that affect working conditions, roles or careers. Within healthcare, this can mean further training courses or career guidance for staff who need to adapt to new skills.
Who is eligible?
- Worked at least 40% per week for eight of the past 14 years, starting from age 19.
- The work has been your main occupation and can be documented with income records.
- Other periods (e.g. parental leave) can count as employment for up to 24 months.
- Recency requirement: at least 12 of the past 24 months in employment.
- Self-employed people can also apply.
- Support can be given as a loan up to age 60. Between ages 61 and 62, a study grant can be given for up to 10 weeks.
Can I apply for career transition support for this course?
Career transition organisations assess whether a course strengthens a person's position in the labour market. Career transition study support can be used for approved courses in Sweden, including those funded through a career transition organisation.
Start by reading up on CSN's website about what applies to your situation, or contact the career transition organisation you are covered by.
