Informative and useful. I thoroughly enjoyed the diploma in youth counselling, and have found that I am more empathetic and understanding in my teaching career. I valued the feedback given from my tutor.

There was a lot of useful content in the diploma in youth counselling course but I felt that it would have helped to have seen some more examples/ role plays of counselling conversations in practice

Comprehensive and very detailed. Brilliant reading lists and the guidance on academic referencing was superb. I have only seen this level of detail at undergraduate level. Impressive.

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.

The course content was good. Reference to particular chapters in the texts might be helpful. More online resources eg YouTube, would be useful.

The subjects were applicable to many situations and the notes easily understandable and well laid out.

I found the printed materials hard to follow, particularly the assignment requirements. The elements in the content relating to faith were unexpected and to me seemed of lower quality than the course in general.
