European Association for Transactional Analysis
EATA Training and Examinations Handbook

PTSC have been busy over the last year or so dealing with queries regarding the revised handbook. Most of the queries were from members seeking clarity and advising us of missing elements and inconsistencies. We are grateful for your patience and for working with us to make sure the handbook is up to date and clear for all. 

We’ve compiled a table of all the queries we’ve addressed so far. There are still some more issues for us to complete, so please bear with us. The updates to the current handbook will be available by the end of the year. 

We are also aware that the handbook’s formatting requires some attention. We are working on a solution to make it more accessible for all members. Unfortunately, this is taking longer than we had hoped. Once again, we appreciate your patience.
