Level 2 Certificate in Christian Counselling Skills
Certificate in Counselling Skills (CSK-L2) accredited by ACC and CPCAB Course Overview
This is a 90 hour course, typically run on one day per month over the course of one year. It is for individuals who wish to learn counselling skills so that they can help people in a voluntary or an employed situation, or for those who wish to find out more about counselling. It will not qualify students to be counsellors but is a first step towards this and can progress to further training in counselling. It is not necessary to have completed a Level 1 or similar Foundation course before starting the Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills.
The Level 2 Certificate course covers the following topics:
• difference between caring, helping and counselling• Biblical principles used in counselling • communication • listening skills • structures and frameworks for counselling • models of counselling • stress • prejudice
Students are required to attend 90% of the course sessions and to complete two essays, two book reviews, a personal journal and group project as coursework. It is estimated that an additional 90 hours private study time will be needed in addition to the course sessions.
The course is accredited by the CPCAB and the ACC (Association of Christian Counsellors). Following completion of the Level 2 Certificate, students would be able to progress onto a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies. The CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body) recommends that a student complete both the Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and the Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies before starting to counsel clients under supervision.

£350,000 AVAILABLE NOW
£350,000 AVAILABLE NOW
FOR STAFFORDSHIRE’S CLUBS AND COMMUNITY GROUPS.
If you run a club or community group in Staffordshire, then you may be eligible to receive help from The Staffordshire Community Foundation, which has over £350,000 to give away before the end of March 2009.
The money is part of a three year long £130 million nationwide drive by the Government, to support thousands of groups and projects across the country, working to improve their local communities. In Staffordshire there’s £1.3 million pounds available for clubs and community groups between now and March 31st 2011.
If your community group is doing valuable work, but you’re finding it hard to raise money for equipment, maintenance, or essentials that would help ensure the group’s long-term existence, then we may be able to help. Grants are available up to a maximum of £5,000.
If you’d like to find out more about the initiative – and whether or not you qualify - then visit our website – www.staffsfoundation.org.uk. There, you’ll be able to see the criteria and download an application form. If you need to ask any questions, then please do call either Terry or Melanie on 01782-683000.
If you want to maximise the chances of receiving a grant, then we prefer it to be a request that’ll help ensure the long-term sustainability of your organisation. Whether it be equipment, repairs to your club headquarters, rent, insurance, training courses for volunteers, or funding for a special project, let us know. It’s all about making a difference by helping voluntary groups across Staffordshire.
Notes to Editors:
· Eligible groups must be volunteer led; have a constitution or set of rules; a turnover under £20,000 a year and be based in Staffordshire. If the £350,000 isn’t spent by the end of next March, it has to be returned to The Treasury.
· There are 58 Community Foundations across Britain. The Staffordshire foundation was the most recent to form and aims to build up at least £2 million of permanent endowment funds over the next three years, enabling it to award even more grants to needy communities.
· For more information (and case studies of grant recipients in your area), call the Staffordshire Foundation’s Director on 01782-683018 or 07973-785641.
