How is the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling – BACP Approved Practitioner Qualification different from the existing Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling?

The Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling – BACP Approved Practitioner Qualification has a few additional requirements to meet BACP approval. The qualification must be delivered by a blended delivery method with a maximum of 25% online delivery. Candidates must undertake a blended placement with a maximum of 49 online / telephone client hours. Full information about applying for online delivery is available on our 'running qualifications online' webpage. All tutors delivering and assessing will be members of BACP and all candidates will be student members of BACP. Both should agree to work within the BACP ethical framework and understand that they are subject to the BACP complaints procedure. Centres will provide the opportunity for candidates to undertake the BACP Certificate of Proficiency (COP) during the course and this becomes an additionally assessed element of the qualification.
