This was helpful.Is this a regulated qualification? Also, if I'm seeking employment as a first time counsellor, is this an accepted qualification?
Answer:Our Level 3 Counselling Skills Diploma is an NCFE Qualification, that is endorsed by the ACCPH. Once completed the Level 3 the next course would be the Advanced Counselling Level 4. Once both have been completed you can then register with the counselling association ACCPH (Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists) from this you will need to get your insurance and from here you can start practising privately.
