Suitability - Who should attend?
The great thing about undertaking a CPCAB course is that it’s recognised nationally by the BACP and focused on helping you become the best counsellor you can be
To apply for this course, students must have at least achieved their Level 4 CPCAB Diploma or equivalent.
To pass the course, you have to prove competence in a variety of key counselling and business skills. You will demonstrate this through undertaking internal and external assessments.
Internal assessment: Includes assignments alongside tutor and peer observations.
External assessment: A structured case review (3,000–3,500 words). This is sent to CPCAB for assessment.
To complete the course, you will also need 60 hours of practical counselling experience. But don’t worry; we’re here to help. We understand finding an agency can be challenging. That’s why we have created relationships with many counselling practices to help you find a workplace that’s right for you. So that’s one less thing to worry about!
In addition, you will need to undertake a minimum of 10 hours of personal counselling during the course and have had a minimum of 50 hours of personal counselling by the end of the course.
You will obtain your qualification after demonstrating your competence, passing your assessments, and completing your required practice hours.
