Who can join this course

If you are NOT one of KAE's progressing Level 2 students, you will need to complete an online application form available at this link - https://forms.office.com/r/5GDWBwXyB3

Following submission of your application, you will also need to make arrangements to complete the online literacy assessment at this link - https://forms.office.com/r/9bT9NA3jv6

This checks your suitability for the course and helps identify any additional support required. If you are successful with your application and assessment,you will then need to book an interview slot by calling 03000 412222. The interview involves an informal and honest discussion with a Counselling tutor about your personal readiness, the content and level of the course which then ensures that you understand the personal, educational and financial commitments.

If you are an existing Counselling Skills Level 2 (CSK-L2) student with Kent Adult Education, your tutor will make a recommendation as to whether you are ready to progress to Level 3. If you are approved you will be given evidence of this and a password so you can enrol without going through the application process.

To be successful in all aspects of this course, it is recommended that you don't enrol if you have undergone a life-changing experience during the last 12 months as there is a high expectation for personal self-reflection on past life experiences.

N.B. You may be able to apply for an Advanced Learner Loan to help fund this course. However, there will be a separate fee to pay direct to Adult Education which is not covered by the loan. Please ask for further information. This is a 'Free Courses for Jobs' course and there are no fees for those who meet both of the following criteria: those who do not already have a full Level 3 qualification and are aged 19-23 years.

Is this course for me

This Level 3 course will further develop your Counselling Skills, and students will study more of the main theoretical approaches to therapeutic counselling. You will learn how to take the next step in training to become a counsellor and discover more around counselling theory and agency work.

Our Level 3 Counselling Studies Certificate CPCAB course:
• Enhances your theoretical understanding of counselling and continues to help you develop the skills and attitudes required to practice these diverse approaches.
• Encourages deep personal growth of self-awareness understanding.
• Enhances your ability to understand others and develops your ability to extend and appreciate the use of empathy in the therapeutic relationship.
• Enhances your ability to work effectively with equality and diversity, and work on your own prejudices.
• Further develops comprehensive research and reading and presentation skills within the group setting.

As in all counselling courses, a large element of the work is based on practical learning and observation in skills practice and involves a real commitment to personal development and self-awareness; often the course continues to provide students with a life-changing experience.
