Information for applicants seeking funding for Practitioner Training through NHS England
Thank you for your interest in the Catalyse CAT Practitioner Course for October 2026 entry.
The Catalyse CAT Practitioner course is an NHS England approved course. We can accept applications only from those NHS staff in the North West and Midlands NHE Regions who have approval from their Trust Lead/CPPO and/or NHSE Workforce, Training & Education regional lead that their place is supported and will be funded. At the current time Catalyse do not know how many places will be available for this route and staff wishing to be considered need to contact their Psychology Professional lead or manager who liaises with the NHSE regional lead.
For non NHS England applicants: the application deadline is 30th May, and interviews take place on Friday 26th June 2026 online.
For those seeking NHS England funding: Applicants need to liaise with their service manager regarding applications via this route. Trust Lead/CPPO and/or NHSE Workforce, Training & Education regional leads inform applicants if their application is supported.
If you are interested in NHSE funding for CAT training but from outside the NW and Midlands regions the flyer below provides a link to identify your NHS region and contact details for other NHSE approved CAT training providers.
In the event of delays in NHSE confirming the number of places any extensions to the deadline for applications will be listed on the website.
