This course aims to meet the professional accreditation requirements for counselling children and young people that will enable successful graduates (who have also met all required professional practice components) to continue towards accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

On completion of the course, you will have demonstrated the sound practical counselling competence that will enable you to complete the BACP proficiency certificate and apply for BACP registration. Your BCU qualification and BACP registration will enable you seek employment as a counsellor specialized in working with children and young people as you work towards full BACP accreditation.
