It’s that time again, aspiring CAT Practitioners in the North West and Midlands! The next intake of our CAT Practitioner training commences in October 2026 and we are now inviting applications. You can find the latest information about the course application process by clicking on the image below.
The closing date for applications is Friday 30th May.
As you may know, Catalyse, along with three other CAT training centres covering the English regions, are approved to deliver the NHS England (NHSE) national curriculum CAT Practitioner training. The October 2026 intake will also have NHSE funded places for NHS staff in the North West and Midlands. If you’re interested in seeking funding via this route, then please check the NHSE route guidance on this page.
If you haven’t already completed an Introductory Workshop on CAT to aid your application, please note that we are hoping to run a face-to-face event in Manchester in the summer. This is likely to take place in June 2026. As soon as a date is confirmed we’ll post it on this site and inform those on our mailing lists. (If you’d like to join our mailing list just contact Becky Carter via rebecca@catalyse.uk.com.) ACAT also offer a range of Introductory Workshops – both face to face and online.
If you are interested in submitting an application for training with Catalyse, please check out the information on our site. And if you know of others who may be interested, do feel free to pass on this information on. We very much appreciate our CAT networks which help to maintain a thriving and growing CAT community.
