We are delighted to announce that applications are now open for our brand new PDA Counselling Children and Young People(10-18) SCQF Level 11
You can now apply for a place on our postgraduate level course that will equip counsellors with the skills, experience and qualifications to work effectively with children in school and community settings. We have spent the last few months since our SQA centre registration going through the course in fine detail and setting up the delivery so that it is more experiential learning and less classroom based listening. We are extremely proud of what we have managed to achieve and cannot wait to get started in upskilling the qualified counsellors who are looking to support children and young people.
Offering Post Graduate Counselling course to work with children & young people
The course is aimed at qualified counsellors who have already achieved at least an SCQF Level 8 diploma or equivalent
qualification in a relevant counselling discipline. Candidates should be planning to or already be work directly with children or young people in a therapeutic role and should have access to an opportunity for supervised practice with this age group. All candidates should be registered with a counselling body and be currently practicing. All candidates must be members of the PVG scheme in Scotland.
The PDA Specification consists of two units and once completed they make up the post graduate counselling course to work with children and young people. Unit J2RG37 which covers the ethics and professional practice working with children and young people can be completed by counsellors who are currently completing a diploma level course in
counselling.
Progress to Unit J3HH38 which covers the safe and competent practice with children and young people is limited to
those who have successfully been awarded their counselling diploma and have completed their 100 hours supervised practice
