Why is this important?

With the rise of online counselling courses, particularly after the pandemic, we want to offer vital insight into the essential components of quality counsellor training needed to develop genuine competence. Many online counselling courses lack the essential components of proper counsellor training, such as experiential learning, skills practice, and personalised feedback.

By providing a window into what counselling training entails, the free Taster can help you discern between training routes that will equip you with solid counselling abilities versus those that provide a qualification but limited practical skills. In an unregulated industry with a myriad of training options of varying quality, it's important to make an informed choice and avoid courses that won't properly prepare you for professional practice and membership.

So, if you're thinking about exploring the field of counselling or considering a journey into quality counselling training, the CPCAB Training Taster is the perfect place to start. Explore the amazing world of counselling and gain a deeper understanding of the exciting journey that lies ahead for you!
