Counselling Skills Level 2 Certificate

The Counselling Skills Level 2 Certificate at Belfast Metropolitan College is a 1-year, part-time course for individuals interested in developing their helping skills. It leads to a Non-degree certificate and is taught in English.

The curriculum covers topics such as establishing boundaries, working empathically, and using self-awareness in helping roles. Students develop counselling skills through practical exercises and learn about ethical counselling practices.

Graduates can pursue roles in health and social care, teaching, advocacy, and mediation, and can use this qualification as a foundation for further studies, such as the CPCAB Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies.
