Counselling Skills Certificate Application Form

Course Information:

Commencing in May 2025 and September 2025

Course in May 2025 Friday mornings 10am - 1pm

Course in September 2025 Thursday evenings 7pm - 10pm

This course involves two full Saturdays within the course framework. The course attendance follows the school holiday calendar with a couple of exceptions.

The Skills Certificate provides the foundations you need to move on to undertake a counselling qualification such as The Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. This provides you with the basic knowledge, skills and awareness that you need to be prepared for the next step in counselling training or to use these transferable skills in the work place and personal life.

This course is 7 months (90 hours) long and requires face-to-face attendance at a venue in Southend-on-Sea. Upon completing the course and its requirements you will receive a certificate confirming the hours worked and the grade achieved.

This is run by experienced counsellors and trainers - mapped alongside the NCS standards, ethics and guidelines. On passing the course, you can then apply for the Diploma Course to become a counselling practitioner.

There is no final exam, you will be assessed through journals, skills assessments and interaction in the learning environment.

You will need to have moderate skills to be able to write journals and use the internet.

Payments:

The total cost for this course is £960.00

A £150.00 deposit must be paid by each applicant to secure a place. Then 6 monthly payments of £135.00.

Deposits become non refundable 1 month before the course starts.

PLEASE NOTE: Should you decide to leave the course at any point, half payment (at £480.00) will be required even if you do not complete the course. If you have paid over £480.00 you will not be refunded the extra. If an authority has funded the course on your behalf, they will not be refunded.

********************************************************

The reason for this is - if people drop out and don't pay half, it puts the entire course in jeopardy of ending for everyone. Half payment ensures the course can continue, therefore all bills at the HUB can be paid and tutors can be paid to continue.

PLEASE BE 100% SURE THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE ON THIS COURSE, YOUR ACTIONS CAN AFFECT THE WHOLE CLASS.

Note: Certificates will not be issued until full payment is received.

The 'Counselling Training Hub' reserves the right to cancel this course. In such an event a full repayment of fees will be made.
