You don’t need to have the level 1 counselling course to study on the level 2 course but you will need to have a good level of English skills as the course is about listening and communication, and has written assignments. Complete the application form for the course and you will be invited for a group interview. If you have further questions about the course please contact eastandcare@gbmc.ac.uk Comments about the course from students: Completing my Level 2 NCFE Award in Counselling Skills has been a wonderful and eye-opening experience. Diving into counselling theory and the BACP Ethical Framework has not only expanded my knowledge but also deepened my understanding of the importance of ethics, diversity, and inclusivity in every interaction. Learning new counselling skills has been both inspiring and transformative, equipping me with tools to connect more effectively and compassionately with others.
