Certificate in Couple and Family Counselling Skills Reviews

I found the course easy to navigate with lots of practice questions and examples. The materials provided were sufficient and relevant to the topics. I particularly enjoyed the understanding and application of theory into practice through the assignments and practice questions. Mairi, was very helpful with her feedback highlighting key areas of satisfactory application of knowledge . This helped me understand the need to understand the case and apply relevant principle in practice

The Couple and family Counselling skills course was very meaningful for me. The material was easy to follow, my tutor was incredibly supportive and encouraging, and the institute provided a smooth and positive learning experience. I’m truly grateful for this journey

Dr Murphy made my study for diploma in Couple and Family Counselling really interesting, she is very honest and approachable. I really looked forward for all her comments and do take them on board and will implement them in my ministerial role. I just want to say thank you for helping me to see my hidden potentials and to see situations and individuals from a different point of view to which I formerly held. Mobrae

The online offering of the course is a good initiative as it gives persons who work in areas that may involve counselling the opportunity to learn and become "professional" in their interaction when necessary. For me the study at your pace is good especially as I had some personal challenges along the way. The concept and delivery is encouraging as you do not get overwhelmed - it is as though you are in a classroom with a tutor.

Practical learning that can be applied immediately by the student

Great course. I loved it! I know I'm lucky to have done it as others haven't yet. I liked following Barry's case and gradually adding more and more to my assignments. I felt invested in the family.

There was sufficient material to get your teeth into along with the additional reading.

Course provided exact information I wanted to learn and was fit for the purpose I wanted. It was invaluable to study the first module - Counselling to learn the models and purpose of counselling which I was then able to relate to the bereavement part. The course challenged my understanding and the way I would respond. I have learnt to read between lines, to consider what peopel are not physically saying, not just to rely on the physical word spoken.

The whole content was very clear and understandable,it was also very easy to read and understand.

Some of the examples seem a little out of date
