About this programme
The Graduate Certificate of Counselling is ideal for those wanting to explore counselling as a new career or vocation direction, with completion of the course providing time to determine if their interest in counselling merits further study. The course may also be of interest to those in helping related professions whose occupations include an incidental counselling component (e.g. education, ministry, nursing, occupational therapy, pastoral work, policing, paramedics etc.), providing an opportunity for them to improve or extend their current relational skill set by learning how to counsel and support others more effectively. The course is also helpful for those without prior undergraduate studies who are interested in counselling and would like to determine if they can manage post-graduate level studies. The course is designed for those: wishing to explore counselling without committing to a longer initial course, needing incidental counselling skills in their current employment, without an undergraduate degree seeking a mature-entry pathway into tertiary studies in the post-graduate domain.
