The Human Relations and Counselling Programme

Welcome to the Human Relations and Counselling Programme. It consists of 4 parts to provide different levels of training and qualifications.

Certificate in Human Relations and Counselling

A postgraduate-level Certificate in Human Relations and Counselling will be awarded after the satisfactory completion of Year 1 of the Diploma in Human Relations and Counselling (see below).

The Certificate course may be taken on a ‘stand-alone’ basis, providing invaluable and professionally enriching development.

This may be of interest to teachers, social workers and other ‘people-facing’ professionals, offering invaluable insight into ‘how we come to be as we are’, as well as highlighting the possible pitfalls and disappointments that contribute to a range of emotional or behavioural difficulties and dilemmas that we may encounter through life.
