Student Reviews
Great Addition to my Studies
I wanted to complete a Diploma as I needed the full Diploma title for University to complete my Degree. This certificate has started me on the path of doing just that. I have studied a number of courses in the past 12 months at the Institute and would 100 percent recommend this to anyone who is starting out on their counselling training.
