Course Content

This Level 3 qualification is intended for candidates who have already acquired a recognised Level 2 certificate in counselling skills and want to take the next step in training to become a counsellor. Candidates will learn more about counselling theory, ethics and mental health, in preparation for further training and future work as a professional counsellor in an agency setting.

This qualification does not lead to employment as it is designed as pre- practitioner training for professional counselling qualifications.

For further information on course content, delivery, and assessment, please see the candidate guide on the CPCAB website, which can be found at http://www.cpcab.co.uk/qualifications/cst-l3#documents.
