Given that the course is entirely distance-learning and not in-person, the quality of tutoring including communication, advice and feedback is excellent. The course materials are excellent and provide links to all the essential texts for the subject. I feel as though I have learned a great deal over the course of my studies and it has enhanced my practice and enabled me to move forward in my professional aims.

I loved the youth counselling course, as a teacher I learned a lot about all the theories and models and also released that I have applied most of them in my years of teaching without noticing. I have also learned that my approach is a holistic approach, which I never knew. Dr. Murphy was amazing in her guidance and feedback and I learned a lot from her. I am planning on expanding in this career and also do the other counselling courses.

Certificate in Christian Counselling
I really enjoyed the course and want to carry on with course 2400 to level 4. I expected to get a bit more support from my tutor tbh, like a quick call or messaging back and forth a bit more, but her feedback was valuable and to the point. I think the assignment 5 wording can be improved. It was not very clear and I got marked as C which was upsetting. I’d have done a much better job, had the instructions been clearer. Happy to be corrected. Thanks.
