The Certificate recognises that the student has successfully completed an introductory training in Counselling Skills which should enable him/her to practice basic counselling skills within his/her existing role.
- NB: It is not a professional qualification in Counselling and does not qualify the holder to practice as a professional counsellor.
Admission Requirements:
- Applicants for 2015/2016 must:
- Be over 25 years of age at the date of registration
- Be assessed through interview
- Submit two written references (See application form for details).
- Dual Relationships
Due to the personal and experiential nature of the course, it is generally not possible to have staff or students with significant existing personal or professional relationships in the same course group. Where possible, every effort is made to overcome this difficulty by placing them in separate groups. Oftentimes this solution is not possible and in these instances, the dual relationship may prevent the applicant from being offered a place on the course at that time.
