Counselling & the humanities

There are no formal entry requirements but a level 2 qualification in counselling skills would be advantageous and learners will be expected to attend an interview to discuss the course content and suitability to complete the course.

As a prerequisite for admission to the Diploma course learners must possess the SEG Awards Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills or an equivalent qualification obtained elsewhere.

Learners will further develop the knowledge, skills and self-development gained from their Level 3 experience. It is required that learners will be involved in placement with rigorous and qualified casework supervision. The responsibility for securing a relevant placement lies with the student. Counselling practice must be predominantly face to face, 1:1 rather than group counselling and mostly with clients aged over 18.

Applicants will be interviewed for suitability before a place on the course is guaranteed.
