Advanced Professional Practice Specialist Work-Based Learning Research for Counselling Practitioners Counselling in the 21st Century
Assessment The programme provides the opportunity to develop a specialism in a professional area of choice and we also place emphasis on your own personal development throughout the programme. Your supervised placement practice will allow you to apply your learning and gain valuable experience and confidence. The top-up degree encourages a wider view of counselling in the 21st century, including the exciting developments in the present and future of the profession. It includes experiential and theoretical learning in a unique classroom setting, with outstanding individual support from our highly experienced teaching team.
The course provides opportunities to enhance and assess understanding and learning informally through the completion of practice or ‘formative’ assignments such as journal writing, feedback on skills practices, and participation in experiential work, as well as feedback from your placement and supervisor. Each module has one formal or ‘summative’ assessment that is graded and counts towards the overall module grade, such as essays, case studies, recorded practice assessments, projects and research. You will be awarded a grade or percentage which indicates whether you have successfully passed the module.
During the course, participants are also required to undertake approximately 50 hours of workbased learning, 20 hours of personal therapy and also continue their counselling practice (achieving a minimum of 50 counselling hours during the programme) with supervision to BACP requirements. Students will also need to allow time for independent guided study and assessment preparation.
