Counselling skills
We are making some significant changes to our counselling qualifications. Some are being withdrawn and others replaced with new qualifications. These new counselling qualifications will be available to learners from 1 August 2019.
To offer new qualifications
Centres will need to apply to offer the new qualifications before they can deliver them to learners.
