As well as Tuesday evenings, the Level 2 course will also require attendance on six Saturdays (06/02/16, 12/03/16 16/04/16, 21/05/16, 11/06/16 & 02/07/2016). The taster course is aimed at those who wish to explore and understand what is required to become a professional listener, helper, or counsellor and is a compulsory prerequisite for the Level 2. All new learners WILL BE REQUIRED TO:- 1. Complete a pre-course questionnaire and on occasions attend an interview with the course leader. 2.
