Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies (CST-L3)

Entry requirements:

You must have undertaken counselling skills training, e.g. our Level 2 Certificate in
Counselling Skills or equivalent units/qualifications of at least 75 Guided Learning Hours.

Purpose
This qualification is intended for candidates who have already acquired a recognised
qualification in counselling skills and want to:

• take the next step in training to become a counsellor
• learn more about counselling theory, ethics and mental health
• be prepared for work as a professional counsellor in an agency setting

This qualification leads to employment and increases employability for those whose role is
to support others in sectors such as health and social care work, teaching and learning,
advocacy and mediation, support and project work, and other helping roles. It provides
additional skills for those already in employment and is likely to lead to increased

opportunities for promotion and advancement towards practitioner-level qualifications (TC-

range of job and career opportunities.
