Course Overview

Are you interested in becoming a counsellor or working within one of the "helping" professions?

Have you learned to effectively cope with stress? Do you suffer, or do you know somebody who suffers, from depression? Do you have a friend or relative dealing with addiction or substance abuse? Is your friend recovering from a painful divorce or bereavement?

Many of these situations are common today, and lots of people struggle to cope with difficult conditions, particularly in our frenetic, fast-paced and increasingly anonymous society.

You can help them. Yes, I really do mean YOU!

The most exciting thing is, that if you have "been there, done it, worn the T-shirt and watched the DVD", you are probably the best person to "counsel" them! Counselling is, quite literally, a "talking" therapy, and most of us often use counselling skills part of everyday life both in our verbal and non-verbal communication with others. If you're also a good listener, then you could be ideally suited to this profession.

Entry-Level Course

Our Counselling Skills course is an ideal entry-level choice for those individuals who want to help others suffering from stress, depression, addiction, eating disorders, divorce plus many more mentally-challenging conditions. It's perfect for those interested in working within the helping professions, whether as a counsellor, social worker, nurse or even the police.

This course has been independently accredited as being equivalent to level 3 on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) which means it is comparable to an A Level or NVQ Level 3.

Furthermore, and this is UNIQUE, students of this course will be awarded 30 points towards accreditation with the National Counselling Society. This is a really "big deal" for anyone committed to a career within the profession. Membership of NCS requires 75 points, so this course fulfils almost half of that requirement. Full accreditation requires a 150 points, so completion of the course gets you well on the way, and is a real stepping stone on your career path.

What will I Learn on the Course?

The course examines the "core counselling skills", and how these skills form a vital part of working with clients. The course then focuses on the different methods of counselling and the importance of anti-oppressive practice. Finally we look at personal development, the importance of understanding yourself, and your own support needs.

Perhaps surprisingly, the Counselling Skills ourse has no entry requirements, other than personal motivation, desire and a genuine interest in the subject matter. As long as you also have a good general standard of education, you will gain immense benefit from it.

If the prospect of exams frightens the life out of you, there is even more good news. There is no final exam!
