A few simple steps from enquiry to your first day.
“Being that OCA is a completely online campus, I looked for every reason not to do my course through them. I looked at every AAA professional provider and the people teaching the courses. In the end, of all the providers, I went with the one I least expected to. The service is beyond what any big brand campus gives you, and everything is set out so well. Huge ups to OCA for completely turning me around! I would recommend studying through OCA to anyone who wants a real advantage. Thank you!”
This micro-credential is delivered by Online Courses Australia and covers the foundational skills used in relationship counselling practice. Students explore communication techniques, conflict resolution, and supportive listening, the kind of practical tools that translate directly into real-world interactions.
The course suits support workers, welfare officers, and anyone in a caring or community role who wants to deepen their interpersonal skills. It also works well as professional development for those already working in counselling-adjacent settings.
The 10-hour course is entirely self-paced and 100% online. Assessments are designed to build comprehension rather than test rote recall. Students receive lifetime access to course materials and, on completion, earn CPD Points along with a digital badge issued through Credly.
