Certificate of Achievement

Are you looking to learn new skills that allow you to improve your professional future? Emagister has the perfect course for you! This is the Counseling Level 3 course.

Counseling skills can be very useful for people in all kinds of roles and job positions. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommends certain types of counseling, as they are useful for the treatment of various health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), long-term injuries and diseases, eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia, and substance abuse. Counseling can help people discuss and solve their problems, and also address the problems that prevent them from achieving their goals and objectives.
The first 8 lessons of this home study course are the same as in our Introduction to Counseling Course.

In addition to these lessons, the final section covering 8 lessons deals with practical advice for common situations. Because of this, the course leads to a higher level qualification.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will receive an accredited Level 3 Achievement Certificate. Do not miss this great learning opportunity to achieve your professional goals. If you want to know more details, request more information in Emagister and get in touch with us.
