The benefits of counselling skills training

We have created a slideshow presentation (in Powerpoint format) about counselling skills and the associated CPCAB qualification. It includes two short videos and aims to help prospective students:

• Discover what is meant by "counselling skills", what they're used for and why their use is not the same as counselling.
• Get a sense of what happens on a counselling skills course.
• Find out the benefits of this training.
• Learn more about the qualification.

If you don't have Powerpoint you can download a free Powerpoint viewer.

The CPCAB model of practitioner development

The structure and content of CPCAB qualifications are based on a model of practitioner development and proficiency. The model has been developed through a process of educational design research over a twenty year period with respect to thousands of courses at hundreds of training centres.
