Obviously, there is a reason why I keep returning to the IOC since I first did the Cert in Educational Counselling Skills many years ago...

Having a set reading list made it much easier to be able to complete the practice portfolios while working full time. It was helpful to have a study guide as it made planning much easier. It was all very easy to understand and a lot of materials were provided. I'm now thinking about completing another module.

To be on distance course suited to my unpredictable working patterns which meant that I could fit my studies around my hectic life schedule.

When I first received the coursework I wondered if I had bitten off more than I could chew! I read the information several times and each module was explained really well. Once I got into the course I really enjoyed it and found the experience really enjoyable. I'm an older student,being mid fifties, and I was a wee bit apprenhensive but everything you need is contained in the course material. Fantastic.

course content materials were good, my only criticism is the initial instructions were hard to understand what was expected.
