Introduction to counselling level 2 certificate (01C13NA/19)

What are you doing to keep learners safe?

The safety of our learners and staff is our top priority and we’ve made some big changes to our centres, from socially-distanced training rooms to staggered start times. Although things will look different, our staff will be as friendly and helpful as ever and we’re really excited to welcome learners back.

If you’re concerned about visiting one of our centres, please get in touch so we can discuss it with you.

What do I need to join the course?

Prior to joining this course you will have a one to one discussion with one of our learning advisors to ensure that this course is right for you.

What do I need to bring with me?
