Quality course and so easy to enroll. Would highly recommend!
Easy to get started and a great course to go through to get started in counselling.
I recently completed the Advanced Counsellor & Psychotherapist Level 4 course with the Association of Learning, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience. The course materials were informative and thoughtfully structured, making them accessible to both beginners and a...dvanced learners alike. What stood out to me was how well the content was designed to balance theoretical knowledge with practical application. Course Content and Structure: Each module was meticulously aligned with the coursework, ensuring that the questions posed after each section reinforced learning. The requirement to use referencing throughout the course helped solidify key concepts, encouraging a deeper understanding of the subject matter. I also appreciated how the course covered a broad range of topics essential for becoming a competent counsellor or psychotherapist, while constantly keeping the core values of counselling at the forefront. Ethical and Moral Framework: One of the strongest elements of the course was its focus on building an ethically and morally driven approach to counselling. The lessons consistently emphasised the importance of ethical practice, ensuring that learners developed not just technical expertise, but also a strong ethical foundation crucial to the profession. Supplementary Resources: During the course, I found it easy to supplement my learning with additional resources available online. Several open-source platforms such as SpringerOpen, the Mind Remake Project, and Google Scholar were invaluable for gathering materials, providing access to a wealth of academic journals and articles. These resources greatly enhanced my understanding and allowed me to dive deeper into specific areas of interest. Additionally, for the kindle unlimited lover, many books could be accessed through kindle unlimited. Overall, the Advanced Counsellor & Psychotherapist Level 4 course provided a comprehensive and accessible learning experience that thoroughly prepared me for a future in counselling and psychotherapy. Its a course I would highly recommend to anyone looking to advance their knowledge in the field, whether you're a beginner or already have some experience.
Sure was easy to navigate and key information was there
I have just finished this course on counselling and for me it was that I had a year to do it wasn’t really bothered. But I enrolled in January and after submitting my first assignment in mid February and the help and advice from my tutor I have now completed the whole course. After ...a decade I have studied can’t believe that I completed it. It’s really good for yourself and for helping others.
I would definitely recommend this course , amazing team and my tutor was the best , they help me so much , I am so proud of myself , genuine this changed my life .
