Motivational Interviewing

Helping people change


Motivational Interviewing Blended Learning Training Courses
​ 
​Motivational Interviewing is an evidence based counselling style approach, designed to help people make positive change. By using a Motivational Interviewing approach, we can help others to:
  • Discover their own interest in considering and/or making a change in their life
  • Express in their own words their desire for change
  • Examine their ambivalence about change
  • Plan for and begin the process of change
  • Elicit and strengthen change-talk
  • Enhance their confidence in taking action
  • Strengthen their commitment to change

Our Motivational Interviewing Blended Learning training courses are ideal for those who are short on time but still want to undertake CPD approved training to improve their ability to promote positive change with others. Our Blended Learning approach simply means you do most of the course work in the comfort of your own home or work setting, at a time and pace that suits you. At a later stage you can attend one of out tutor led practice development days, choosing a date that suits your schedule.

Since 1995 coAim has successfully delivered Motivational Interviewing training to thousands of practitioners working in the fields of health and social care, substance misuse, health behaviour change, social inclusion, homelessness, criminal justice, youth services, employment and social services. Our training is designed to engage participants in understanding the values, knowledge and skills underpinning Motivational Interviewing and to embed what they find valuable into their daily practice. 

Our Blended Learning courses have two parts:
  1. Our Motivational Interviewing Theory and Skills courses. These are fully delivered online. On successful completion of your online training course you will receive a Certificate in Motivational Interviewing Theory and Skills. This course can be taken as a stand alone course, or combined with:
  2. Our Motivational Interviewing Practice Development courses. These are classroom based one day tutor led courses.  On successful completion of your tutor led training course you will receive a Certificate in Motivational Interviewing Practice.
