Response: We are delighted to hear about your learning experience on the Certificate in Christian Counselling course, We are proud to have played a part in your educational journey. We aim to create an educational journey that is not only academically rigorous but is aligned with professional development needs and career aspirations. We wish you continued success in your endeavours.

The online offering of the course is a good initiative as it gives persons who work in areas that may involve counselling the opportunity to learn and become "professional" in their interaction when necessary. For me the study at your pace is good especially as I had some personal challenges along the way. The concept and delivery is encouraging as you do not get overwhelmed - it is as though you are in a classroom with a tutor.

I enjoyed the course overall and have benefited from it . As an online course I would have appreciated more you tube demonstrations ,( although I did access many other counselling sessions by others to augment the course ) and books that were easy to access.

The course is perfect for acquiring skills and knowledge in counselling. However, students must be prepared to work hard and read books to complete the course.

I enjoyed the course in the main but feel the materials could be condensed. Assessment criteria could be placed in a separate document to ensure course requirements were easily understood at the onset. I achieved my personal aim by undertaking this CPD course as an addition to my counselling qualifications and have secured employment in the field.
