Choosing a
Counselling Course
There are many
courses that one can
choose from that
claim to create
professional
counsellors upon
their completion.
Many claim that
their courses lead
to membership of one
type of professional
body or other or are
accredited by a
professional
association. It is
vital for you to ask
relevant questions
before committing
your time and
finances to a
programme. Remember
that from the
January 1st 2006 the
new National
Framework of
Qualification came
into being from the
Department of
Education and
Science and only the
Higher Education and
Training Awards
Council of Ireland (HETAC)
can award degrees
and is the only
accrediting body
under law....more |
