Suitability - Who should attend?
You must have a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills (or equivalent) that is less than three years old or relevant vocational expertise and experience. You must be over 19 years to undertake this qualification. Your English must be at level 2. You will be interviewed by course tutors and undertake a piece of free writing. This is a personally demanding qualification, and applicants should ensure that they are not experiencing mental health difficulties when they apply. This does not preclude people with previous mental health difficulties from undertaking the course (in fact, people with past experience of mental health difficulties often make very good counsellors), but you should ensure that you are mentally well when you apply. If you become unwell during the course, our tutors may meet with you to discuss if you are well enough to continue, or whether a break in learning is required. Please see the Fitness to Study Policy.
