Counselling Skills Level 2 Certificate (NCFE)

This qualification introduces learners to the use of counselling skills in everyday life and in the workplace, as well as the key approaches that underpin these skills.

It provides an opportunity to explore the knowledge and techniques needed to use counselling skills effectively and to participate appropriately in a helping interaction. Learners will develop a greater understanding of how these skills can support communication, empathy, and positive relationships.
