This is a nationally recognised programme, running across 90 hours of teaching, usually delivered over 30 weeks.

This qualification is for:

Those starting the first level of training as a professional counsellor

Those who want to learn counselling skills in other professional or helping roles

Those who want to improve their professional and personal relationships as part of personal development

This qualification could enhance employment opportunities or increase employability for those whose role is to support others in e.g. Health and social care work, teaching and learning, advocacy and mediation, support and project work and other helping roles.

It provides additional skills for those already in employment likely to lead to increased opportunities for promotion and advancement.  Please see below a link from You Tube which explains the course we run.
