Commitment of the Trainee (please tick all to confirm)

I have an active and unrestricted membership of my national affiliated organisation, which is indicated below.

I am a fully paid-up member of the European Association for Transactional Analysis.

Without prejudice to my right to resign, I agree to renew my membership of both associations annually for the duration of this contract.

I acknowledge active and unrestricted membership of my national affiliated organisation and fully paid-up EATA membership is a requirement for CTA TS certification.

I understand that if I cancel or fail to renew my membership of EATA this contract will cease to be valid with immediate effect.

I have read and commit to follow the Code of Ethics and the Professional Practice Guidelines of EATA.

I take personal responsibility for reading and familiarising myself with the relevant sections of the EATA Training and Examination Handbook relating to this contract, and any training, evaluation, and exams that I am undertaking along with any additional requirement(s) related to my country.

I understand I can only sign a CTA TS Training Contract in a specialization for which I have been certified as a CTA by EATA’s Commission of Certification (CoC) or by the International Board of Certification (IBOC).

I enclose a copy of the Staff Endorsement Form, completed and signed by my Principal Supervisor as appropriate. I know that this contract must be signed within one year; otherwise, I must attend a new TEW.

I will teach a TA101 Course supervised “live” by a Teaching or a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst. PTSC suggests running this supervised 101 within three years after the TEW. I will submit a completed ‘Instructor Endorsement Form’ to the EATA office. (Not applicable if the trainee is currently an endorsed “TA 101 Instructor”)

I will keep records of the training and supervision activities I provide to others and obtain for myself, meeting the EATA requirements for admission to the CTA TS Examinations.

I have made a separate agreement with the undersigned Principal Supervisor for supervision and guidance during training for CTA TS certification in accordance with EATA/COC requirements.

I understand that should my Principal Supervisor end their EATA membership during the term of this Agreement this will not be held against me. I will identify and engage the services of a successor principal supervisor as soon as possible.

If I change my Principal Supervisor, I will notify EATA and my affiliate association using the relevant Change of Principal Supervisor form (Form 13.4.4).

If my field of specialty differs from my principal supervisor’s, I attach the required Exception or Expansion. The date these exceptions or expansions were granted by EATA is entered below.

I will maintain an active involvement in providing TA training activities. If I am not doing so, I will notify EATA and rescind this contract.

I understand that this contract expires 7 years after the date of endorsement by EATA. Should I wish to continue I can take out one further contract — a maximum of two contracts in total.

I commit myself to serve as an examiner for CTA exams at least five times on three different examination occasions during the period of this training contract and to regularly serve as a CTA or CTA TS examiner following my certification as CTA TS.

I acknowledge that neither COC nor the Principal Supervisor has given me any guarantee or assurance of my final certification as a CTA TS. I understand it is my responsibility to learn, fully comprehend, and master all the criteria necessary for the CTA TS certification.

I detail below my training plan as agreed with my principal supervisor.

I have an active and unrestricted membership of my national affiliated organisation, which is indicated below.

I am a fully paid-up member of the European Association for Transactional Analysis.

Without prejudice to my right to resign, I agree to renew my membership of both associations annually for the duration of this contract.

I agree to train and supervise the above-mentioned trainee according to the guidelines and standards of EATA. I have read and understand the EATA Training and Examination Handbook as it relates to CTA TS training and examination.

I understand that if I cancel my membership of EATA I will inform the trainee and support them in finding another Principal Supervisor and signing a ‘Change of Principal Supervisor Form’ before my membership of EATA ends.

Principal Supervisor Signature Confirmation

I confirm that I have signed this and filled in my details correctly

This contract will expire 7 years after the date of endorsement by EATA as shown below, unless this is a transfer from a TSTA contract in which case it will expire 7 years after the date of endorsement of the TSTA contract. The date of expiry is shown below. If the contract is not endorsed with the EATA stamp it is not valid.

If a trainee wishes to take out a subsequent contract they need to repeat this process – the maximum number of CTA TS/TSTA contracts possible is two.

If either party wishes to terminate this contract they must first come to an agreement with the other contracting party and then send the contract back to EATA, who will inform the national organization. Before sending the contract back to EATA, both the Principal Supervisor and the trainee, need to write “Cancelled on (date)” and sign it. Some associations receive the cancellation forms directly from members and the forms are forwarded via the national association to EATA.

A contract is automatically cancelled if either the trainee or the trainer does not renew his/her membership of EATA.

If, for whatever reason, the trainee wishes to change his or her Principal Supervisor during the term of this contract, this can be done as follows:

The trainee normally agrees the change with his or her existing Principal Supervisor and with the future Principal Supervisor.
All three parties complete and sign the Change of Principal Supervisor form. Four copies of this form must then be sent to EATA’s Executive Secretary or to the national association, (if applicable) along with one copy of the original contract, and, if necessary, with any Exception document.
EATA registers the change of Principal Supervisor, and one date-stamped copy of the completed form is then returned to each party.
If there is a change of Principal Supervisor during this contract any required supervision hours are to be counted to include all hours done with each of the Principal Supervisors.

Both the trainee and Principal Supervisor are free to change the Principal Supervisor arrangements if they wish. The whole process should be conducted from an OK+ OK+ position without prejudice to any party.

NB: Please note completion of a change of Principal Supervisor form is NOT a new contract.

EATA agree to notify the trainee of any change in the membership status of the Principal Supervisor should they be informed of any such change.
