Counselling Skills Diploma Program
We are proud to present our new 12 month Counselling Skills Diploma Program, It is a self-paced learning experience designed with the flexible needs of our students in mind.
Our well-rounded program comprises 21 in-depth courses each demanding approximately 40 – 50 hours of focused study.
Along with Supervision, this accumulates to a total of 1200 hours over 12 months, equivalent to 23 hours of academic engagement per week.
We firmly believe in learning by doing and immersing our students in experiential education. Therefore, we balance self-guided studies with 200 hours of direct client contact sessions, ensuring a robust and comprehensive learning experience.
Interactive engagements, including 40 hours of live group supervision with an instructor via Zoom and 10 hours of one-on-one Supervision as needed, are key components of our program. These live sessions are carefully curated to promote a supportive and conducive online learning atmosphere.
Our Counselling Skills Diploma Program is more than a mere curriculum; it’s a community of learners delving into self-discovery, enhancing their counselling abilities, and sharing best practices, all while navigating the digital landscape of online education. Join us and embark on a journey of self-paced learning to equip yourself with essential counselling skills.
