Found it really interesting if a little old fashioned in places. It could probably do with a refresh!

The course materials were excellent, i fell like i have learned a lot not just about Christian counseling in general, but also about myself. The course has allowed me to know myself better and even helped me to work out a few problems i didn't know i had within my own life. The support and feedback that i got from my tutor was nothing short of excellent and i am very happy with the course! I just feel so privileged that i was able to take part in it, thank you.

I have recommended this course to two colleagues are are going to enrol. It is through and no easy ride, which supports its integrity.

I really enjoyed this course. It was my first qualification I have taken since doing my diploma in Floristry 30 years ago. I feel confident now to do more. Thank you to the whole team.

Obviously, there is a reason why I keep returning to the IOC since I first did the Cert in Educational Counselling Skills many years ago...

Having a set reading list made it much easier to be able to complete the practice portfolios while working full time. It was helpful to have a study guide as it made planning much easier. It was all very easy to understand and a lot of materials were provided. I'm now thinking about completing another module.
