Apply to offer our non-regulated qualifications
We offer non-regulated counselling qualifications, supporting candidates who have undertaken a level 4 diploma e.g our Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling or equivalent.

This allows you to design and deliver a training programme that meets the specific needs of your organisation and candidates. Unlike our regulated qualifications, Tailor Made qualifications don't require external assessment.
