Institute of Counselling Reviews

I have never done distance learning before, but felt very motivated and supported by the tutor's feedback and the material was easy to access and well structured.

course content materials were good, my only criticism is the initial instructions were hard to understand what was expected.

There was a lot of useful content in the diploma in youth counselling course but I felt that it would have helped to have seen some more examples/ role plays of counselling conversations in practice

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and found it very useful. I thought there were ample opportunities for practical application as well as theoretical.

The course content was good. Reference to particular chapters in the texts might be helpful. More online resources eg YouTube, would be useful.

The subjects were applicable to many situations and the notes easily understandable and well laid out.

The course made distant learning easy and manageable.

I feel the list of recommended reading should be reviewed as some of the items are difficult to access. In addition more current additional reading list would potentially engage students more effectively.

I feel like it was a good balance of academic but not too academic

Just an observation - many of the final assignments had mixed up names of characters, giving, for example, an anecdote about 'John' and then asking how one would reply to 'Tony'. It just felt a little less professional....
