Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Training:
The ACT Masterclass.
'The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Masterclass' is a 3-day course from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), a leading provider of ACT training for professionals working in mental health and related areas in the UK and Ireland.

Executive Summary:
This is a course for people who have at least 6 months practice subsequent to receiving Level 1 APT Registration (often much more). In lectures, the masterclass provides more depth on some of the topics in the Essentials course but is mainly focused on developing skill, based around the following components: listening to and making case presentations, watching video demos by others, role-play/real-play where you interview others and they interview you, and establishing a stable system for support and development for yourself in this area post course.
