Overview

Course Start Dates: September and Feburary – Wednesdays – Daytime or Evening.

This qualification is designed for learners interested in using counselling skills as part of their functional role in a wide range of sector areas or looking to progress towards accredited counter status. This qualification does not qualify learners to practice as a counsellor.

There is an expectation that you would have Level 2 in Counselling, as well as a minimum of Level 2 English or skills at that level prior to enrolment.

To enrol on this Adult Learning course you must be aged 19 years or over.

You will study the following units:

  • Unit 1: Developing counselling skills,
  • Unit 2: Theoretical approaches to the use of counselling skills,
  • Unit 3: Working ethically with counselling skills,
  • Unit 4: Counselling skills and diversity,
  • Unit 5: Counselling and personal development.

Once you have enrolled on the course, you will be allocated a tutor and assigned to your learning platform. An induction will follow and then you will be able to commence your course.

You will be assessed by submitting individual units of work and will receive feedback for each unit as you progress. There is no final exam.

On completion of this course, you will have enhanced your existing work skills. This qualification does not qualify learners to practice as a counsellor.

The staff that will be supporting you through this course have sector expertise.


My experience at the college was enjoyable and productive, with thoroughly helpful people surrounding you, an excellent experience. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, with the work shop time and experience I had, it was a great two years preparing me for the next stage.

Edward Smith, BTEC student

I’m very, very happy, I didn’t expect to do so well. The College has been helpful and supportive. I loved my courses, and the teachers were really good – every single one of them. The facilities are great, but it’s the staff that really make this place.

Matthew Randell, A Level student

“HSDC provided me with the opportunity for autonomous study and the choice of subjects that I wanted to study, which helped me develop relevant knowledge as well as relevant skills for the workplace.”
