Course Overview
The level 3 Course covers the same material as the level 2 course, but in more detail. Learners are assumed to have some prior experience of counselling or experience of a helping or pastoral role, and be comfortable with talking openly and candidly about themselves.
The course is 30 3-hour sessions. Each session contains some small group practice and some theory lecture, the same format as the level 2. The course aims to continue to help develop confidence and appreciate the importance of personal development. There are five units and written assignments to complete.
Unit themes:
- Counselling skills
- Ethics in practice
- Counselling theory
- Personal development
All units within this qualification are internally assessed. The qualifications are criterion referenced based on the achievement of all the specified learning outcomes. A learning log will be produced and a variety of assignment tasks will be set by your tutor to guide you through the qualification.
Entry Requirements
Candidates need to have successfully completed a level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and you may be asked to gain a reference from their tutor on that course.
