Course Overview

As a more advanced course, this provides professional status in counselling – and is particularly useful if your work role requires counselling skills.

…anyone whose work might involve counselling, such as nursing, teaching, social work, the police or armed forces.

This course will give you a comprehensive ability in both counselling skills and theory, with the ability to apply this in practice. It’ll also enable you to identify and pursue further career development in your own professional field or personally.

You’ll be assessed through practical work, assessed use of skills, written journals and assignments and a 2-hour written examination, and on successful completion of the course you’ll be able to move on to Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

You’ll need to have completed a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling or equivalent.

Suitability for study will be considered by interview process.

You’ll also be invited to interview prior to acceptance on the course.
