Our 'Introduction to Christian Counselling' 36 hour

Level 2 course, accredited by CPCAB is designed to

be of wide interest to anyone interested in pastoral

care and counselling.

 

Open to all it will primarily help you to determine your interest in and/or suitability as a pastoral carer and/or a trained counsellor. The introductory  award is particularly geared to help those who are involved in various aspects of caring in the community or in church life. It will increase your understanding of how people function and improve your interpersonal skills.

 

Not only is it helpful for those who wish to explore the whole area of counselling, but also is ideal training for house group leaders, pastoral care teams, youth leaders, community support workers, lay workers, etc.

 

There are various options for study as follows:

​

• Six consecutive days during August (Monday to Saturday inclusive) 10-5 pm

• Twelve online 3 hour sessions delivered throughout the year

 

Within the course there is a balance of theory and skills which should give you sufficient grounding to start out in pastoral care and counselling.

 

There is also an amount of required reading and regular written assignments to be completed.

 

The cost is £588 per person for the Summer School and £430 per person for the online courses. This price includes all notes plus CPCAB registration fee - so there are no hidden extras, except that students do have to provide their own lunch on all day courses!

 

This course can be hosted and arranged anywhere in the U.K. with a minimum number of 12+ students. Away from the University of Northampton Innovation Centre the hosts would be expected to provide a suitably equipped venue.

​
