I was trying to figure it out myself.
(Not at all because it makes a difference with respect to the certificates being significant achievements that you should jolly well be proud of)
But with respect to your initial question about the 'Dr' title and whether the courses were doctoral level.
The info I posted was from the relevant website.
1) Do you have an undergraduate degree in psychology or education or social work? (a degree that is accredited by the society)
If not... Then my guess is you are doing the conversion course that (the website says)
> gives eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Registration (GBR).
So... That is getting the equivalent of an undergraduate degree in psychology. That way one has met the entry requirements (the graduate basis for registration) so that one can begin the doctoral program:
> You would then go on to a three-year, full time, professional training course leading to a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
After completing the doctoral program one would indeed have a PhD (with 'Dr' title) in Clinical Psychology (and a license to practice in the UK).
If you are paying for these courses... Then I really would look into how long it is going to take and how much it is going to cost for you to be accredited... Just because it is worth knowing what one is in for... If it is more that it is an interesting thing to be doing and you are happy just doing what you are doing then by all means keep on doing it though.
It really doesn't matter whether the course is doctoral level or not with respect to it being a significant achievement, though. Hardest course I ever bloody did was a second year module in neuropsychology...
