COSCA Certificate in Counselling Skills

Much more than a course…

Take the first steps to becoming a counsellor.

The COSCA Certificate in Counselling course is taught over a series of four modules. Each module is 30 hours.

Learn life-changing skills by combining active listening with empathy in ‘skills practice’ training groups.

The COSCA Certificate in Counselling allows entry to either Level 10 CBT Diploma or Level 11 Post Graduate CBT Diploma which provide full vocational training as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.
