Course summary
The HNC is aimed at those working in or seeking to work in a variety of counselling settings. It may also be attractive to workers in the wider care, advice or guidance settings where counselling skills are becoming increasingly important.
The qualification incorporates the knowledge, understanding and skills required for progression into employment or further study. It assigns a central role to the value base essential to professional practice. It recognises and responds to changes in the provision of Counselling and provides a flexible framework to meet the changing needs of employers in the sector.
Many people complete the course as a stand-alone qualification, others undertake it as a route to further training towards becoming a counsellor including the HND in Counselling for which this course is an essential element and which is a BACP recognised professional qualification in counselling. Students successfully completing the HND can apply to join the BACP Register of Counsellors.
