Why College Courses Are So Well Accepted
You’re much better off learning from a specialist than a generalist.
Many education providers focused on maximising sales deliver many courses in a variety of different areas. This may work for them commercially, but it can also jeopardise the quality of training.
Just think about it, in most instances they have the same people develop courses in areas as diverse as Business, IT, Administration, Travel, and Child Care. It’s just not possible (in our opinion) for these generalists to create courses requiring specific knowledge and experience to the same standard as a specialist.
The College specialises in training counsellors. It’s all we’ve done for over 17 years. This gives us a very unique insight into the industry. And it translates into highly applicable training.
College courses are developed by a team of qualified and experienced professionals. We’ve refined our programs over 17 years, implementing pioneering training techniques, and integrating enormous amounts of feedback.
Part of our mission is to continue to research and develop ways to enhance your skills as a professional. Each year the College dedicates an enormous amount of time and resources to ensure our training is the most up to date, professional, applicable training of its kind in Australia.
We recognise that if we are to evolve as better professionals, our education programs must also evolve to be consistent with the environment in which we live and work. By maintaining the currency and relevance of our training, we guarantee the value of the services our graduates are able to provide clients and those around them.
After working for many years in the computer industry I began to realise I have more to offer in the community than just sitting behind a computer keying in numbers.
Before I tell you about my journey I would like to send my sincere thanks to the wonderful team at the College's Student Support Centre. The team was always there with encouragement, and advice on how to keep on track with my studies. Hearing a friendly and helpful voice on the other end of the line when I was feeling frustrated and alone really enabled me to keep on track and move forward with my studies. Well what a journey.
At the end of January 2003 I began my journey with the College. Working full-time, I found the study packs a lot less onerous than I had anticipated and it was easy to pace myself. Each evening I was ‘staying in' I started studying at a set time and finished at a set time. I found that if I didn't set an end time as well that I would often get carried away into the night, which wasn't appreciated by my work colleagues the next day (Zzzzz)! I was excited and challenged at the same time and thoroughly enjoyed each unit.
