I was very surprised and happy by the volume of course material that was sent through when I first registered. Really helpful, informative and great for advice with further reading and websites.

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).

A fantastic course. It has provided me with many counselling tools that I can utilise in my work with my specific client base. Living and working abroad was not an issue and the distance learning aspect of the course suited me perfectly.

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.
