Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors

I cannot recommend the AIPC Course highly enough. It took me a while to find a suitable and relevant course and this one covers a lot of topics. It is provided to you in a flexible learning style, suited to people who are working and seeking a career change. The lecturers are extremely knowledgeable in their field, bringing real life and relevant information to the course, which is extremely useful to us future practitioners. The practical components are extremely important and a great way to network with other fellow students. I am truly loving this course!

When I started with AIPC, I was a bit worry about not being committed to the course, as it is self pace, but I have really enjoyed each modules and I was so excited to learn more and more each time. The course are really detailed and explained properly. Moreover, if you are stuck, or have any questions you can reach the team by calling them or accessing the student portal, they will be so helpful.

I’ve done my practical by face to face. I know how stressful it can be, but I can only recommended it as you will learn from others and also from the assessor. Make it more as an exchange with each other instead of a test. Furthermore, you will meet wonderful others student who can become your friends.
In overall, I will definitely recommended study with AIPC.
Thank you AIPC for everything you have done for me!

Not only does Lisa have a professional approach in the practical sessions, but also a very engaging style that enables students to learn much more than the assessed work as per the assessment criteria marked for. I have had Lisa assess three practicals so far and each time I have come away feeling that my knowledge has increased and I feel more confident about how I would handle real life issues as a practitioner. I really appreciate the style that Lisa and Ken have in making students comfortable and gently ease away the anxieties of being assessed. And the fact that they take time to explain concepts during the sessions is much appreciated

My experience with AIPC has been very positive.

I was nervous about attending the practicals at first, but it's been great meeting other students and our facilitators, Ken and Lisa.
-Tim Tams, biscuits and tea are usually offered on breaks which just makes me one happy chap.

I thought I could do without the practicals, but they have just been invaluable. I've learned things in those practicals that the texts could never teach me. The facilitators are really kind, supportive and have given me such a real view of what counseling involves.

I HIGHLY recommend that everyone who can attend these face-to-face practicals go and attend them.
