Could a centre accept a new year 2 student to the Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling – BACP Approved Practitioner Qualification if they have completed year 1 of the same at another centre?

Yes, it is possible. If a centre considers a new applicant suitable, having undertaken year 1 of the same qualification at another centre, they can accept them for year 2.

However, if a candidate joins a BACP Approved Practitioner Qualification in year 2 from a year 1 non BACP Approved Practitioner Qualification, the candidate will not be eligible to take the BACP Certificate of Proficiency during year 2 training and will be certified for CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling without the BACP Approved Qualification status appearing on their certificate upon completion.
