This is the 56th edition of the renowned School of Transactional Analysis, which includes the opening, full-cycle certified 101 training and 7 further modules.

Why

Is Transactional Analysis important?

Quite a few people are looking for good psychological knowledge to be more effective at what they do. Managers, trainers, coaches - they are all looking for answers as to why people behave in certain ways. Most of them read a great many books in the field of psychology, go to training courses, complete various courses. However, apart from people who graduate from psychotherapy school, it is very common to hear complaints that it is difficult to put this knowledge together.

Transactional analysis for managers and coaches is primarily a concept of behaviour (states of Self), communication (transactions) and relationships (psychological games). The greatest resource of this concept is that all of these issues are coherently connected, so at the core of transactional analysis is the concept of personality. It is the underlying concept on which psychotherapists rely, and coaches sometimes use it.

It is because transactional analysis is also a personality concept that when we talk about behaviours and ways of building relationships, we see the different relationships. We also have the confidence that the actions we want to take are not the result of a random combination of different exercises, but because we have a good understanding of the essence of our behaviour.

The creator of AT, Eric Berne, failed his examination as a psychoanalyst. At the same time, he was so convinced of his understanding of the mechanisms of human behaviour that he not only created a strand called transactional analysis, but also made the requirement, rebelling against psychoanalysis, that AT was to be told in simple language that everyone could understand. AT is therefore not only a very coherent concept, but it is also easy to understand and tell to people who have no background in psychology. This is why it is so readily used in business, education and counselling.

You will benefit most from this solution if you are:

HR Specialist

You are looking for smart psychological training, explaining many of the behaviours and phenomena you face on a daily basis.

Coach

You want more effectiveness in the training room, new practical knowledge and you want to find more inner peace in your work as a trainer. You can achieve this by recognising different limiting ways of experiencing difficult situations.

Manager

You need to learn practical and understandable psychological knowledge that you can easily translate into managing your team.

Coachem

You want to complement your workshop with sound psychological knowledge and proven tools for use in individual work.

Training Leader 101 so-called Module 0

I am a psychologist, the only certified Transactional Analyst and AT teacher and supervisor in the organisational field (TSTA-O), training instructor 101.

I co-founded the first School of Transactional Analysis in Poland, which today has reached its 43rd edition.

I am a member of the European Society of Transactional Analysis and the Polish Psychological Society. I am a recommended Level I trainer of the Polish Psychological Association. I have been teaching AT to others for 13 years. I have conducted 14 editions of the AT School and Academy.

Want understand human behaviour, improve your own work and that of your teams?
You can only gain!

Greater
effectiveness

You will learn the behavioural patterns, needs and motivations of the people you work with, you will know how to unlock their potential and, if you apply the knowledge from AT, you will be clearly more effective than others.

Impressive
efficiency

Recruiters say: "You come to the company and you leave the boss". We have verified that properly motivated employees perform at a higher level, and if they like their colleagues - they stay longer and give more of themselves.

The company you dream of

A properly managed team will avoid passive behaviour, psychological games and perform tasks more efficiently and, most importantly: experience deep job satisfaction.

Feedback on our training courses

Senior Consultant Sandler Training TWAROWSKI&PARTNERS
I work as a trainer and consultant on a daily basis and am responsible for developing sales departments. Many of the sales tools and mechanisms I teach are based on the assumptions of transactional analysis, hence my decision to better understand the foundations. I had some concerns about the online format of the classes being run, although I use this format myself, I know the commitment it requires. I was concerned that, as a participant, I would not be able to maintain my attention and commitment with this form of work. It turned out that my fears were unfounded. Kasia and Joanna's way of delivering the training guarantees complete weariness in the subject matter and 100% engagement. As part of the training we went through all the key issues related to AT (ego states, contamination, psychological games). What I particularly liked - the workshop format, the spaces for sharing experiences and self-reflection. After the training, I have a better understanding of other people's behaviour and my own reactions (both at work and in everyday situations), it is easier for me to identify manipulations, potential conflicts. In addition, AT has helped me to communicate better with others, enabled me to have a new perspective on my own development. If you have a need to improve your relationships (professional or personal), wonder why you react to certain situations or behaviours in certain ways, or just want to have a better life - AT is a pretty sensible choice! ????

If I have any real hobby, it is learning and asking questions. (...) Imagine a psychological laboratory where you take a chunk of knowledge about człhe human being under the microscope and piece by piece look at the constructs of theory under the microscope. You raise your head from above the eyepiece and discuss the findings with people who are as curious about this area as you are. You exchange knowledge, find practical applications, produce small doses of change in your attitude towards communication, relationships and, ultimately, yourself, and apply them in everyday life. You look at what works, how it works and what is still worth working on in a safe environment with professionals who have been moving long and efficiently in the AT laboratory. That's what the online AT School classes are like. It is a journey in the vehicle of curiosity, based on sound knowledge and the excellent workshop background of the presenters. It's a laboratory of knowledge about organisations, relationships, your own design. To enter the world of AT is also to join a community. It is a relieving experience to know that there are plenty of people for whom the view that you are ok and they are ok is the basis for functioning in the world. On a day-to-day basis I manage a company of several people, train and make public appearances. School is not the ring of Arabella - it hasn't changed my world. But it has definitely enriched my behavioural repertoire, in each of these areas of my professional activity. Along with these additional tools, I have also gained a personal sense of increased self-efficacy. This is a very good investment for anyone who is questioning, analysing, looking for effective tools to improve professional and personal functioning.

Trainer, consultant
I found the threads on scripts, life attitudes and individual needs most valuable. Combined, they have allowed me to better realise my own potential and have greatly accelerated the process of getting to know and understand the person sitting on the other side of the table. Professionally, I use AT to explore organisations, naming patterns and possible contaminations within businesses to support them more effectively in achieving their strategic goals.

trainer and consultant for organisations/contacts
Attending the Encounter Group's Transactional Analysis School was one of the most important experiences on my professional path. I came to the school looking for new, effective tools that I could use to work with managers, intervening in organisations, supporting clients and companies in designing a change process. I had a lot of doubts about the non-standard, because virtual, form of learning, but a sincere conversation with the trainers of the Encounter Group, their great openness, giving factual answers and very transparent presentation of the programme and organisation of the school gave me the opportunity to verify my fears and make a conscious decision to participate in the AT school. The whole well-thought-out structure of the online school, the engaging form of teaching, the substantiality of the instructors only confirmed that it was a good decision. (...) I have undoubtedly enriched my personal development 'toolbox', which has influenced the quality of my relationships with myself and others. Professionally, I gained a very practical and simple set of tools to use in my work as a consultant designing development processes for leaders and change processes in organisations. The AT School gave me a great opportunity to feel the will and readiness within myself to work based on what is important and valuable to me in my contact with others, in developmental action with the group and the organisation.

Before the training, I had heard a lot of good things about transactional analysis from my boss, a staunch supporter of this psychological theory. I had little idea of AT myself, but already the 101 training had proved to me what enormous benefits could be gained by exploring the constructs and tools developed by the creators of AT. It is as if I finally knewzła possibility to name what I deal with almost every day, in every relationship. It is an amazing discovery! During my studies at the School of Transactional Analysis, I learned a lot of interesting tools that I will be able to apply not only in my work, but also to analyse myself and the relationships I create and develop. The school is a huge mine of very practical knowledge! Is it worth it to start learning? Definitely yes! Thanks to the classes, I have had the opportunity to broaden my horizons and bolster my intuition with concrete psychological knowledge. (...) The trainers are perfectly at home in virtual reality and give you the space to test how you feel AT on your own skin. I have completed the AT School online and I can say that the sessions are conducted in a very effective way, with theory very much intertwined with practice. Professionally, I am involved in HR and I find the AT tools extremely helpful in building a constructive organisational reality.
