  General information
  
  The BTEC Level 3 Diploma is a one-year programme of study that allows learners to focus on the skills of counselling and introduces them to different theoretical approaches.  The qualification is designed to be work-related and to enable students to develop counselling skills and theoretical knowledge. Many people working in a variety of professions are increasingly using counselling skills in their jobs. In recognition of this, this qualification is designed to develop learners as counselling skills practitioners. The qualification includes units introducing the main theoretical approaches to counselling, counselling skills and professional and ethical issues.
