Professional Development Points -MI Online has been endorsed by the Australian Psychological
Society for 12 Generalist PD Points and the Singapore Register of Psychologists for
12 PD points. How it works:

This is a self-paced, individual, learning experience which you complete from the convenience of
your own PC.
The material covered is similar in content to that which is presented in our face to face
workshops however, for ease of use online, different topics are segmented into six tutorials.
The complete course takes approximately twelve to sixteen hours to complete and it is entirely
up to you how you prefer to complete the course. You can complete one or more tutorials per
week or complete all six tutorials in an intensive two-day block much as you would when
attending a workshop.
A trainer will be facilitating your learning with individual coaching and feedback via e-mail,
therefore there are a maximum number of trainees who may be completing the online course at
any given time. In order to ensure timely feedback and coaching of current trainees and
ongoing availability for new trainees, it is a requirement that all six tutorials are to be
completed within 6 weeks of commencing the course. You pay for the whole course when you
register to commence and you receive a Certificate of Completion which you can use for
claiming Professional Development points when you complete all six tutorials.
Topics covered: a.. The spirit of Motivational Interviewing
b.. Principles of MI
c.. Change talk- what is it? How to recognize and reinforce it.
d.. Opening Strategies
e.. Working with ambivalence
f.. Working with resistance
g.. Moving towards action
