Academy for Continuing Education (ACE)

This module provides the foundation of counselling theories and practical counselling skills to be applied in a variety of situations and relationships in the counselling process; from the initial contact to rapport building, intervention, and termination. It also provides the foundation on coaching processes; participants will learn to plan, facilitate, and manage group dynamics in group coaching and assisting the groups in defining their direction and developing solutions.

Counselling and Coaching Skills is a module selected from the Specialist Diploma in Career Counselling. It enables participants to acquire new skills or deepen relevant skills without the need to pursue a full specialist diploma. As this is a stackable course, participants may choose to complete the remaining modules within the validity period, of 2 years, to be awarded the full Specialist Diploma qualification.
