Suitability - Who should attend?
You will be interviewed by course tutors and undertake a piece of free writing. If you have Level 2 Literacy or GCSE English, please bring your certificate to the interview. If you do not, then you will need to take the online assessment in the Learning Centre prior to the interview. This is a personally demanding qualification, and applicants should ensure that they are not experiencing mental health difficulties when they apply. This does not preclude people with previous mental health difficulties from undertaking the course (in fact, people with past experience of mental health difficulties often make very good counsellors), but you should ensure that you are mentally well when you apply. If you become unwell during the course, our tutors may meet with you to discuss if you are well enough to continue, or whether a break in learning is required. Please see the Fitness to Study Policy.
