Counselling Skills (RQF) Level 2

This NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills (RQF) course will equip you with the principles, values, and moral qualities needed to achieve and develop counselling skills.  Acquire knowledge about diversity and ethics within counselling skills, recognise the importance of self-development and understand the different approaches involved in counselling with this nationally-recognised qualification. 
 
As a learner, you will identify core counselling skills which include having a positive regard for the person being counselled; respecting them, showing empathy and sincerity. Other key skills include active listening, controlling your body language, and asking advanced open-ended questions.
 
Discover the significance of diversity and ethics within our counselling skills course. One of the most important values is making sure that people feel comfortable and safe to express themselves. Empathising with another person’s experience from their frame of reference and resilience to the concerns of others without being personally affected, are also essential.
 
As part of the counselling skills level 2 course, you will be working towards self-awareness and have an opportunity to reflect on your personal and future development, helping you identify any potential need for support. It is good practice to understand yourself better in order to help others achieve more.
 

How does the course work? 

Once enrolled, students will be given access to our online course materials where they will find learning resources that are educational, interactive and easy to follow. Everything you need to complete the course will be included in the materials. Additionally, you will have access to communicate with our tutors via phone, email or through our online platform. 
 
Further advice and guidance is also provided through a hub of likeminded learners who you can also get in touch with through our virtual learning platform.  
 
A great deal of flexibility is offered with distance learning; however students will have to have self-motivation and discipline if they want to progress effectively.
 
On average learners will take between 2 - 3 months to complete this course.
