Counselling Techniques - 802
Overview
This program is designed for individuals who wish to develop counselling skills. Many participants are employed where skills in interviewing or information gathering are required. Professionals in the community with extensive and relevant knowledge, skills and experience facilitate the courses.
The program is delivered on a part-time basis. Courses generally are held one night a week over a 13 week period during one of the three semesters: fall, winter and spring. Some students choose to take one course at a time. Other students are able to take two or more courses per semester which allows them to complete the certificate in less time. Courses in this program can be offered fully in class, fully online or in a blended format (a mix of both in class and online).
