CTA Written and Oral Examination Preparation Course

Introduction

The primary objective of this course is to prepare the supervisee and TA practitioner for the CTA exam conducted by EATA and/or ITAA.

The group is expected to provide additional support to the candidate, complementing the primary supervisor with the necessary preparation for both the written and oral parts of the exam. This type of collaborative work can be particularly beneficial in a group dedicated to this goal, where all members share the same objective. This allows for unique support during preparation, alongside the specific and specialized guidance you can receive from the leader/supervisor of this group.

The exam consists of two parts, and accordingly, the preparation will be divided into two phases.

1st phase

The first phase will focus on the written exam.

Topics of the first phase include:

  • Explaining the instructions from the ITAA/EATA Handbook regarding the written exam
  • Clarifying individual questions and discussing potential interpretations
  • Guidance on references
  • Providing feedback on what the supervisee has written
  • Responding to supervisees’ questions
  • Offering the necessary emotional support and encouragement for writing
2nd phase

The second phase will focus on preparation for the oral exam.

Topics of the second phase include:

  • Explaining the instructions from the ITAA/EATA Handbook regarding the oral exam
  • Support and guidance in selecting appropriate audio recordings
  • Support and guidance in preparing written materials for the oral exam (logs, recommendations, etc.)
  • Responding to supervisees’ questions
  • Providing the necessary emotional support and encouragement
  • Organizing MOCK exams
