Give clients skills, not just insight.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills training, taught live and applied. Accredited by PIMS and GIMP Malaysia.
DBT Skills Certification
Insight rarely calms a person mid-crisis. Skills do. This certification takes you through all four DBT skills modules and shows you how to teach them so clients actually use them between sessions. The format is tight: you practise the skills yourself before you ever teach them to someone else.
- Run all four modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness
- Teach skills in a way clients remember under stress
- Use chain analysis to map a behaviour from trigger to consequence
- Coach distress tolerance without reinforcing avoidance
- Balance acceptance and change in the same conversation
- Structure skills groups and homework that hold
- Apply DBT principles to self-harm and emotional dysregulation responsibly
- Know the limits of skills-only work and when to refer
Foundation first. Then practice.
Every course runs for four months in two levels. You join both, and your certificate shows both.
Level 1 · Foundation
Core theory and the key techniques, practised on yourself and with peers. A short review at the end of month 2, then you move straight on.
Level 2 · Practitioner
Advanced techniques, case work and supervised practice. A final assessment at the end of month 4, then your certificate.
What the hours include
Live lectures, guided practice, assignments and case work, and the reading we send you each week.
Built for serious practitioners

Your questions, answered here
How long is the DBT course?
Four months, in two levels. Level 1 (Foundation) runs in months 1 and 2, Level 2 (Practitioner) in months 3 and 4. One live lecture a week, Tuesdays 7–9 PM PKT, two hours each. 120 learning hours in total, counting live lectures, practice, assignments and reading.
Is this full DBT or skills training?
This is the skills-training arm of DBT, taught for practical use. Full DBT programs add individual therapy, phone coaching, and a consultation team; we're honest about that line in class.
What is the free Lecture 1?
The opening lecture is free for everyone. Attend live, judge the teaching, then choose whether to enrol.
Do I need experience?
Helpful but not required. If you're starting out, message us on WhatsApp and we'll tell you whether to begin here.
Can I combine it with another course?
Yes. DBT Skills pairs with Trauma-Informed CBT as one of our two bundles, at a lower combined fee. Pricing comes by email.
What certificate do I get?
Your certificate reads PIMS Certified DBT Skills Coach, Level 1 and Level 2, with 120 learning hours. It shows both levels. A PIMS certificate accredited by GIMP Malaysia as a skills-building qualification. See the note below on licensure.
