What our students say
Vikki King – Counselling Theory for Practice: An Introduction
The courses have had an impact in many ways but if I had to narrow it down and really reflect on it, I guess I know a lot more about myself because of them.
It’s also helped me to grow confidence, and my people skills have got better. It’s the only real way you can connect, having that face-to-face conversation and open-ended questions. I can now do public speaking as well which I could have never done before.
Kelsey Leigh Grant – COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate
The lecturers are so supportive, you’re really get a sense that they want you to succeed and be the best you can be. With the nature of the course, extra support is expected, and it is given whenever you require it.
The best experience in this course is skill practice, which take place each week. It allows us to put the skills we have leant into practice in a safe, learning environment.
Kerriann Wilson – COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate
This course was described to us as life-changing at the induction and it truly has been. From enhancing listening skills to expanding self-awareness, it has been a fantastic learning journey.
The way the content is delivered makes it much easier to understand and enjoyable then I imagine a lecture would.
