Counselling Skills TQUK Certificate Level 2

To become a counsellor you will need to complete several years of study. Consider this online course as your first step on that ladder. A look into what it takes so you can make an informed decision as to whether or not it is the career for you.

This online qualification focuses on key counselling skills and will give you an understanding of the knowledge and skills required in a counsellor. It could be the first step towards a new career or be used to enhance supervision and support skills.

Completion of this qualification does not mean you are a registered counsellor, further training would be required if this is your aim.

On average the course takes 15 weeks to complete. The time frame depends on the time you have available and your prior knowledge.
To complete this qualification you must be able to upload a 5 minute video of yourself demonstrating the skills you have learnt in units 1,2 and 3. This can be role play with a volunteer, it does not have to be a real life counselling session. If you cannot find someone to do the short video with you can ask a qualified person to do a witness testimony for you.

They must hold, as a minimum, a Level 2 Counselling qualification and they must witness you giving a short counselling session. You cannot complete the course without including one of those options within Unit 4.
