Suitability - Who should attend?
The great thing about undertaking a CPCAB course is that it’s recognised nationally and focused on helping you become the best counsellor you can be!
CPCAB courses are formally recognised by BACP (the UK’s leading counselling membership body), so the 90 formal learning hours you pick up on this course will count towards the 450 minimum hours of training required for membership. Membership of an organisation like BACP (or equivalent body) is vital if you wish to become a respected counsellor and work for organisations such as the NHS.
To pass the course you have to prove competence in a variety of key counselling skills. This is primarily assessed practically as you progress through the course – the tutor will gain evidence through observing you demonstrating the skills as you undertake exercises and practical sessions. In addition, during the course, you will complete a learning journal, undertake a self-review of your own learning and write a short essay. These are also used to gain evidence of your competence.
At the end of the course, you will undertake an assessment involving an open-book assignment. This will then be reviewed and assessed by CPCAB.
Once you have demonstrated your competence and passed your assessments, you will obtain your qualification.
