Counselling Course

Insha'Allah i will be embarking on a new adventure begining Sat 15th September.
No really i'm excited as this is something new.
The course is a level 2 counselling course.
Its with Lifelong learning, Oldham Centre (meaning Oldham Library).
Costs 80pounds 80p
12 weeks course.
Recognised awarding body
Saturdays 9.30-12.00pm

There are no exams and not even much written work. But assessed on attendance in classes, a presentation, a workbook and personal journal, and some other pieces of work.
It does not make you a qualified counsellor. you have to study few more levels for that. but it acts as a stepping stone and gives you some insight and much needed skills.
So if anyone is interested check it up on the net. Its much cheaper than doing it at colleges.

As you know our ummah is in much turmoil on many different grounds. If we can't help our brothers and sisters being physically persecuted around the world, at least we have the ability not to mention the obligation to help prevent the psychological and idealogical persecution going on in our own communities. so insha'Allah we can reach out to those who call us and give them the opportunity to live a life of goodness and a way out from the torture they are subjected to, physically, mentally and emotionally. There are horror stories that no horror movie could even portray. No, i know it won't solve all the problems, but at least to do our bit to contribute right.
May Allah help us and rectify all our affairs. Ameen

"It does not make you a qualified counsellor..."

Why don't you use your time and energy (and money) to study a course which will give you a recognised qualification? Have you checked with Oldham College? I may be starting a course too insha'Allah, we might end up being study buddies.

No you have to take this course in order to work towards being a qualified counsellor. This is level 2. there are another 2 levels wish insha'Allah i wish to take up once i completed this.
Which means i will have to get a job to finance it....
It is a recognised body, Oldham college do this aswell but this so much cheaper. what you planning to go into?
