What the college says

This course is suitable for anybody looking to get counselling skills. It's ideal for anyone who works in a helping capacity, such as support workers, teachers, social workers or youth workers. You could take it to complement other courses such as health and social care, children's care, learning and development or for voluntary and community work. The course won't make you a qualified counsellor but if that is your long-term intention, it's a good introduction to both the theory and practical skills you'll need to develop. You'll need patience, sensitivity and a non-judgmental approach.
