This intensive course runs for 4 hours, once a week for 36 weeks (not including the school holiday’s) and combines the Introduction level 2 (there is no level 1) to Counselling and the level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills, which is the pathway onto further training to become a counsellor.

What will I learn?
You will learn the theory of counselling and the basic practical skills needed for this qualification.
There are four written assignments and two practical assessments, as well as a series of journals to complete in order to gain certification. Students are expected to have a good standard of writing.
Notable points to consider.
Students will not gain certification if the coursework is not completed and to a competent standard, or their attendance is below 85%, this includes frequent lateness and leaving early from sessions. Certification will also be withheld if the course fees are still outstanding at the end of the course. Once you have started the course, any money already paid will not be refunded, and you will be liable for the total course fees, even if you have withdrawn. This is standard practice now in most academies and colleges. Once you have enrolled and a deposit has been paid, students have up to 7 days before the course commences to withdraw, but the deposit will not be refunded.
