Whether you volunteer with young people or are new, start here. You cover child development, adolescence and counselling skills. A place to start is exactly what this is.
The first certificate covers how children grow up. Language, thinking, morality and social skills each get a topic.
Teenagers change fast in every direction at once. Physical, emotional, social and moral growth each get their own study.
Listening, bonding, reflection and questioning are taught as practical skills. You also learn how to close a relationship well.
Three certificates in order: child development, adolescent development, then counselling skills.
Technique alone is thin. This course puts twenty odd topics of development first. Context makes the skills land.
This course will not make you a registered counsellor. That limit is stated up front. Clarity like that is worth having.
Student membership of the International Association for Counselling comes with it. That includes journal articles and contacts in the field.
Awarded by the college on completion
Accredited through ICOES and the CPD Standards Office.
Twelve months as a student member, with journal access.
Development, adolescence and counselling skills, covered in order.
Ask for the course guide and see every module.
An advisor explains where this leads and where it stops.
Pay upfront or spread it weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Open child psychology and work forward from there.
None is needed. The course is beginner friendly and starts with child psychology basics.
Around 300 hours of study, with twelve months of access. It is self paced, so you set the rhythm.
Plans start from $29 a week, paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly. No deposit and no credit check apply.
You finish with a solid grounding in development and counselling skills. The college is clear: it will not make you a registered counsellor. It does not lead to registration as a psychologist or therapist either.
It carries ICOES and CPD Standards Office accreditation. The college is not an RTO. That means it is not nationally recognised. It is not an AQF qualification either. As grounding before further study, it holds up.
The college recommends further training or an internship for hands-on experience. Talk to an advisor about the next step.
Not at all. Many students are volunteers, parents or career changers looking at the field.
A ten day money back guarantee applies from enrolment. Contact the college inside that window.
The Career Academy runs online study across psychology, community and business subjects. The college points to over fifteen years of teaching. It reports more than twenty five thousand students yearly. Tutors work by phone and email in business hours.
One teenager, one conversation, and you knew what to say.
