Prospects
Whilst an introduction to counselling course will not qualify students to practise counselling, it does meet the needs of new students who wish to complete a 'taster course' in order to determine whether counselling is a suitable career, as recommended by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In addition, there has been widespread recognition of the value of an understanding of counselling theory and skills to other 'people oriented' professions, such as human resources, whether in the private or public sector.
When you complete the Certificate in Introduction to Counselling you will be given the option to enter for the Education Development International (EDI) Level 2 Certificate in Introduction to Counselling.
EDI are specialists in supplying vocational learning programmes and are recognised as a national awarding organisation.
Being awarded the EDI Level 2 Certificate in Introduction to Counselling will demonstrate to potential employers that you have the necessary skills needed to carry out a role as a counsellor.
