This Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills Course is for anyone who wants to develop their counselling skills for work or a personal capacity. The course is offered flexibly - either as a year-long evening course to fit in with your work commitments or as a fast-track daytime course lasting 18 weeks.

This qualification aims to introduce learners to the use of counselling skills in everyday life and work, and some of the approaches that underpin the use of these skills. Although you will be given the opportunity to investigate the knowledge and skills needed to use counselling skills and engage in a helping interaction appropriately, this qualification does not qualify you to practise as a counsellor.

The course costs ÂŁ417 but concessions may apply.
