I think this guy could talk me through an apprenticeship at a betting shop and I'd find it appealing! 😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the video, I shall seek out more
helloo, i'm from Indonesia. Now, im studying guidance and counselling at university (4 years) coz i want to be a teacher of GaC and want to be a counsellor in the future. after i finished my study, i will take a certificate qualification for counsellor with an estimated time of 6 months or 1 year. It's great to be a part of counseling. I'm currently helping a lot with children's problems at school and I'm happy when we can help.
Great information!
Wonderful message. These are the people I market.
Marketing for people who care.
Good info for prospective t's
Thank you x
I would like to be a blessing to people pains of transformation
Good information
do you do these courses for distant learners online? UK
What a levels do you need to become a counsellor
I'm most of the way through a level 3 course and have enjoyed it but even the thought of level 4 is stressing me out. I don't feel as though skills practice with peers has prepared me for seeing three placement clients a week who may have particular issues
1 year ago... how is level 4 going?
Three a week seems a bit excessive! That'd sort you out for you 100 hours in just the first year alone, no?
What accreditation do you get after level 4? Will you be get HCPS registration? Will you get GBC with the BPS?
Hi, you wouldn't automatically get any accreditation on completion of the qualification alone as each accreditation body has its own entry requirements and application process. The qualification is recognised as appropriate to gain membership of many accreditation bodies though. There are more details on our website here: www.cpcab.co.uk/learners/going-into-practice
Is there any pre requisite to open a therapy centre under the umbrella of cpcab
Hi Waseem, please have a look at this page on our website for information about how to become a recognised CPCAB centre: www.cpcab.co.uk/centres/becoming-a-centre
Do I have to do an introduction course first?
Hi Chris, if you're looking to do our Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills then no, there are no entry requirements.
I’m in the US about a year away from my BA in psychology. But I’m interested in becoming a counselor in the UK. How would I go about that?
Hi Alyssa, please send us a message on our Facebook page or drop us an e-mail. Our team will be able to provide a detailed answer to your question!
Hi i am a qualified therapist and there's so many options. Give me a message and i'd be happy to help. Thinking of putting up a video as i did so much research before embarking on this journey and people do not make this easy with money traps and over expensive drawn out courses.
@@michellelam6160 Hi Michelle, I tried messaging you but couldn't see an option!
Is it possible to work as a counsellor while studying for your level 4 diploma?
Hi Tea-Rex, please see this FAQ on our website: www.cpcab.co.uk/faq/detail/26
Why are the fees extremely high to train? Having to pay £30-£80 ph for 300 hours to join the register is such an elitism approach
Surely you get those 300 hours whilst you're working (having just passed level 4), no? Are they 300 hours of therapy for yourself or 300 hours of giving therapy?
Hi there! CPCAB sounds extremely interesting! I'm in the United States. Are CPCAB courses recognized in the USA? If not, do you know of similar programs or offerings? Thanks! :)
Hi, our qualifications are regulated by the UK's Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) so they should be able to be recognised in the USA. We can't comment on offerings in the USA because we only operate in the UK but a good place to start would be too look at professional associations for therapists and counsellors in the USA as they may have information about training options.
Love u
Do you have a Glasgow based learning centre or is it all online/zoom? Thank you
We don't have any recognised training centres in Glasgow that offer our Level 2 or 3 qualifications. Many centres offer fully online training for these qualifications though. Please check our centre finder for details: www.cpcab.co.uk/centre-finder
What is your opinion on studying online only for L2 and L3? I don't have many centers near me, but some are offering online only. I'd rather face to face...
I did both my level 2 and level 3 online and very much enjoyed it and learned a lot. I wouldn't hesitate to do it online, I think the course content is the same online and in person. So if you have no other option, online is still good and worth doing.
@@Benana2shubleCan you advise if NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Counselling Skills is equivalent or appropriate as entry level course. I really want to get into this field
Thank you sir for your all details. Currently i m taking my BA in Applied Psychology, im in 3 rd year i m interested to be a counsellor and i m planning on masters to. I want to know that how to apply for the counsellor license process?
Hello, it depends on which country you wish to practice in. In the UK there is no statutory requirement to obtain any qualifications to start practicing as a counsellor. However, it is widely recognised that obtaining Professional Membership Association accreditation is best practice. More information can be found on our website here: www.cpcab.co.uk/learners/going-into-practice
Is it possible to do level 4 without doing the previous qualifications ?
Hi, it is possible if you have obtained equivalent qualifications to our Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and our Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies. This would be assessed by the training centre you wish to study at, who would consider the existing qualifications you have completed.
