Training and Certification in Transactional Analysis

Training in TA—whether for personal or professional growth— is offered around the world by institutes and certified individuals.  To find out what training is available in your region, visit the website of the TA association nearest you. (See also our calendar of upcoming exams and workshops below.)

The standards and guidelines for training toward certification—as a practicing, supervising, or teaching transactional analyst—have been established by the Professional Standards Division of the ITAA, in cooperation with the European Association of Transactional Analysis (EATA) and the Federation of Transactional Analysis Associations (FTAA, formerly WPATA). These training standards have been agreed upon worldwide and are mutually recognized by many regional TA associations.  (Click on the Certification and Examinations Handbook at the left.)

To make training toward TA certification more widely accessible, the ITAA offers the TAlent Program and the Scholarship Grant Fund to qualified ITAA members.

Please use the new forms as of 2020.

We are so sorry to say that due to the worldwide Corona-Covid-19 crisis the CTA/TSTA exams and the TEW in Birmingham (July 2020), the CTA exams in Bangalore (September 2020) and the CTA/TSTA exams in Daegu (July 2021) all have been cancelled. 
 
We realise very well that the Corona situation is severely interfering with all your preparations and with your life in general! At this moment IBOC is seriously investigating possibilities to organize alternative certification routes. These cannot be realized overnight but IBOC hopes to come with more information around this shortly after the summer.  
 
So we mainly ask you to bear with us in these times of uncertainty and most important of all: to stay healthy and safe!
