Course Information

This course along with others is delivered in partnership with Mairi Nye Associates.

There are two types of certificate offered and applicants need to establish which they wish to undertake:-

Certificate in Counselling Supervision Skills: requires participants to have no less than the COSCA Counselling Skills Certificate (or equivalent) as their training.

Teaching Methods:-

Both certificates require successful completion of the course and the submission of one written of one written assignment based on a transcript and analysis.

It is taught over 6 days.
