What the college says

Enhance your professional development with the Level 3 Diploma in Counselling Skills. Whether you're keen to become a qualified professional counsellor or you wish to gain counselling skills as part of your current profession (for example teaching or nursing), this 30-week programme is for you. As you develop your counselling skills, you will cover areas such as theoretical approaches, working ethically, diversity and personal development. This qualification may aid progression to accredited counsellor status but it is not a licence to practise counselling. If you wish to work as a therapeutic counsellor you will also need the Level 4 Diploma in Counselling which you can study here on successful completion of this course.

What you need to get on

To do this programme, you will need a Level 2 Counselling qualification (having studied a minimum of 90 hours). You must also be able to undertake written and oral assessments at level 2.

How you are assessed

One subject in depth, assessed largely through coursework and projects.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
