Online Counselling Skills Training Courses

There are two variations in modular Courses for Online Counselling Training and Online Counselling Skills Development which are available with www.ocst.co.uk: The OCST 1 and OCST 2 course.
Both courses are structured in a way that enables students to learn and practice online counselling skills using a variety of online communication tools, whilst also focusing on assisting delegates in developing their online presence, promoting understanding of professional,ethical, and legal requirements for online counselling skills practice,and building online therapeutic relationships.One of the distinct benefits of the OCST training programmes is learning in small groups, or individually with the tutor (OCST 1 course). Delegates also gain valuable practical experience by working with simulated case work and role play clients.

If you are uncertain about committing to a 10 or 12 week programme you may prefer to learn more about online counselling and online supervision by attending a one day workshop with OCST. The range of workshop themes can be viewed by following this link: Online Counselling Training page

The Online Counselling certificate course (OCST2), involves an experiential shared group experience with specific start dates throughout the calendar year.
The next group course commences in September 2010.

The Introduction to Online Counselling certificate course (OCST1), offers an experiential individual learning programme, with start dates throughout the year to suit your availability.

In both cases students complete all aspects of study online. You can choose which course will best suit your needs,availability, and time committments.

Where organisations are seeking group training activities in online counselling skills, that are tailor made to meet their requirements, I can provide this upon request.
