Institute of Counselling Reviews

I thought it was a great cross section. I think in this day and age there was too much on Christian focused pastoral care. I believe that pastoral care is important but it needs to show more diversity.

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

The materials were excellent. My only slight reservation is that many of the examples used had a Christian context. Whilst I was completely comfortable with this, I am not sure everyone would be.

The course content and materials were also excellent. Very clear and easy to follow.

generally good but was wondering if it can be compacted a bit .

As always the material was easy to follow.

Please see previous answer

As above, I wouldn’t change anything.

Very detailed, well arranged and the practice exercises are quite detailed and applicable to day to day scenarios

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.
