CPCAB Level 2 - Certificate in Counselling Skills Course
Course descriptionOur CPCAB level 2 course is for beginners in the world of counselling and no prior training or experience is required.
On this CPCAB course you’ll learn a wide range of counselling skills, which can be used in your existing job to enhance your communication skills, give you the tools to support your own friends and family members with their needs, as well as providing you with the necessary skills to progress onto level 3 and beyond. Remember, once you have completed levels 2, 3 and 4, you will be able to operate as a fully qualified counsellor in your own right!
CPCAB courses are formally recognised by BACP (the UK’s leading counselling membership body) and so the 90 formal learning hours you pick up on this course will count towards the 450 minimum hours of training required for membership. Membership of an organisation like BACP (or equivalent body) is vital if you wish to become a respected counsellor and work for organisations such as the NHS.
As with all of our courses, the level 2 course is taught in an experiential way, meaning you will be encouraged to participate in practice sessions with peers to develop the skills you will be learning. We believe that learning in this way is crucial to becoming a great counsellor, and it allows you to do so in a safe and caring environment.
If you’re considering a career change and becoming a counsellor feels like the perfect fit for you, then our level 2 course provides the first step towards your new career goals.
