Course Overview

This qualification is intended for candidates who have already acquired a recognised qualification in counselling skills and want to:

* take the next step in training to become a counsellor
* learn more about counselling theory, ethics and mental health
* be prepared for work as a professional counsellor in an agency setting

This qualification does not lead to employment. It is designed as a pre-practitioner training for professional counselling qualifications but it could also lead to employment in a related field.

You must have undertaken counselling skills training, e.g. our Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills or equivalent units/qualifications of at least 75 Guided Learning Hours.
