Hiya Everyone

On the 18th April I am due to take my Level 2 Counselling skills exam.

Just wondered if anyone as took this, and if so could you let me know what it was like, what questions were asked etc? How did you find and could you offer any useful tips etc.

Love Angel x

RE: Counselling Exam Due

[sm=grouphug.gif]Hello Angel,

Most of the results for counselling comes from course work, what you have done in practice and theory.
if you remember what you did you have answered your own question.
i am nearing the end of the first year diploma in counselling. and as i say i have never had an exam as such, you are monitered in your practice to make sure you know what you are doing, and with the theory written work it counts as either a pass or failure.

take care
.

Hiya Blackcrow

Thanks for replying, we have done a lot of course work over the last few month, I am a little annoyed as the college cut the course short by 5 weeks so our tutor can tutor another set of people, so it feels we have had to cram a lot in.

How's the diploma going? Can you tell me what it is like, what is involved, it's still a couple of years away for me yet, but I would like to know what is involved in this one.

[sm=hug.gif]Hello Angel.

The course is very intense. and a lot of people fall by the wayside before they get half way through.
i enjoy it but im only doing it to get the certificate to say that i have qualified, as its something i have done all my life,
there are a lot of jobs for counsellors as there is a short fall of them in britain, you will begin to discover which direction you want to go in, when you get to the diploma i keep changing my mind, Cognitive Behaviour Humanistic, Person Centred etc,
you will have a bit of written work yet,but my advice to you would be if you enjoy it and are empathetic. you will have the answers to your question, from within yourself.

take care

Hiya Blackcrow

Wow, now I am really looking forward to it. Written work doesn't bother me at all, in fact I actually really like it, sad huh! lol;)

We haven't done anything on Cognitive Behaviour Humanistic or Person Centred therapy yet, I believe that comes in level 3(?) I just need to pass this exam and hopefully I'll be on the way.

I guess in a strange way that it is good that there is not enough counsellors in GB at the mo, at least that way when we're qualified they'll be some jobs for us.

RE: Counselling Exam Due

Hiya HH

Thanks hun

Well the exam was just awful, there was a question on there that we hadn't done in class and all the questions had a long winded theme to it, you had to read it many times to try and get the important part from it. Also terms and expressions were used in the questions that weren't really needed and you really did have to deciper what the question was asking you.

We only need 50% to pass but it was a struggle.:( I'm so glad it was over, all the rest of the students thought the same too.

Hello SUNSHINEQUEEN and welcome to Healthypages,

It's unlikely that you will get an answer to your question because this thread is over 3 years old.

Namaste,
Myarka

Hi Myarka,
thank you for pointing that out. I've completely overlooked the date. Thanks again.
