COSCA Certificate in Counselling Skills (SCQF Level 8)

Review

'The Practising Schema Therapy Course was excellent.  The presenters managed skillfully to convey a pretty complex approach in a way that was easy to understand.  Their demonstrations were done using real live material, and to see it in action made all the difference. I would recommend the course to anyone looking for somem fresh insights into, not only their clients, but themselves as well.'
ACT offers high-quality training combined with genuine care for students.  I did my COSCA Certificate here and have just completed Year 1 of the Diploma.  It’s a great place to learn and train.  The staff and tutors are all very experienced therapists and generously share that experience through a range of teaching methods which support students build skills and confidence.  The environment encourages interactive learning and there is no such thing as a daft question.  There is scope to focus on any specific disorder that a student has a particular interest in.  And remarkably,  they make it fun.  Hand on...
Currently I am studying the second year of the Diploma in CBT with ACT. This is a great course and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in working as a CBT therapist.

I have worked in the counselling/therapy field for over 25 years primarily developing and managing services. In the last couple of years, based on feedback and the recommendations from colleagues I have attended ACT for a variety of courses, including, CBT course, Schema Therapy and I have recently completed the Diploma in CBT and I can say I have not been disappointed in any of the training; whether it’s been a one day or two-year course. ACT would be my first stop service to access any training requirements either for personal reasons or on behalf of the services I manage....
I cannot recommend ACT Counselling Services enough. I am doing the Diploma Course, and really enjoy drawing on their extensive knowledge and experience. I always feel I can ask questions when I am unsure about anything as both are very approachable. Both tutors are very engaging and above all, are extremely supportive. As well as learning professionally, I have learned so much about myself on a personal level and I am totally embracing the journey. Inputs are delivered with clarity and passion. I would not hesitate to recommend ACT. Thank you!
