I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found it very useful. I thought there were ample opportunities for practical application as well as theoretical.

The course content and materials are helpful. Some links are unable to access.

The content has been good but the instructions regarding the practice portfolios, assignments and the TMA were not always clear, there are some unclear elements regarding how to write the TMA and record the verbatim counselling session within the supporting documents. The TMA especially needed to be clearer as it's the first assignment that requires referencing, it's the longest piece of work and it's worth 100% of the course grade. A student login with the course would be useful so that online material is accessible. Being based in Vietnam has meant some of the indicative readings have been hard to get hold of, which potentially limits the wider reading aspect of the TMA.Response : Hi Laura Thank you for taking the time to comment on your course. Generally I think you enjoyed it and learnt from the experience. I take on board your view of the TMA Guidelines and accessibility of materials in foreign countries. If you contact Alan he will send you a reader that would have helped and I will make sure all future students who need it will get it. If you take another course we will make sure you get access to another reader. I hope this is helpful. Simon Carr

Some of it was a bit dry - especially some of the longer units. We didnt have access to some of the course due to access limitations, but in general it was very good.

The material was fine, but it was totally difference to the CBT course i did a year ago. So it was the TMA which i found some of the guidelines not very clear.

PDF’s were problematic in places, and some of the case studies were somewhat esoteric, but the principles and theories were well explained. The documentation around the TMA was confusing in places and could have easily been misinterpreted (e.g. specifying models as examples could have been taken as instructions instead).

The materials were well put together and the self exercises were useful. I would have liked to some sample answers for the assignments and questions in order to understand the expected structure a little better. I was sometimes uncertain if I was approaching the exercise in the right way. Fortunately, my tutor was able to guide me here.

Very limited and at times difficult to understand language. Infact i quite battled going through pieces of text and learning matetial.
