Undergraduate Certificate in Counselling Studies
Christian Heritage College
Type of institution: Higher Education Institutions
Level: Pre-degree
CRICOS: 01016F
This short course provides a foundation in human behaviour, approaches to counselling, interpersonal skills, as well as a focus on the importance of the person of the practitioner. With only four subjects, the certificate has been developed on a pedagogy that values experiential learning and face-to-face interaction, with an emphasis on understanding the human person of both the client and the counsellor.Successful engagement in counselling study requires a level of personal maturity and self-awareness. Consequently, entry into the Undergraduate Certificate in Counselling is subject not only to academic requirements, but also personal suitability as assessed through an interview, a personal statement and referee reports.
