At a Glance

Every lecture in the Counsellor CPD Library includes eight components. Whatever your learning style, schedule, or accessibility needs — there is a format that fits.

What's in every lecture

Video presentation — the expert on screen with a slideshow, with closed captions for accessibility

Downloadable audio — listen while walking, driving, or commuting

Downloadable slide pack — including the learning outcomes, so you can check relevance before watching

Full transcript — for reading-preferred learners and quick reference

Lecture summary — a concise overview to recap or preview

References, bibliography, and further reading — Harvard-style, for citing in your own work or going deeper

Recommended lectures — Netflix-style suggestions to help you build expertise in connected areas

CPD certificate — between 1 and 1.5 hours depending on the lecture, claimable after completion, professionally designed

Why so many formats?

Counsellors learn in different ways. Some absorb best by watching, some by listening on the move, some by reading. Many members are neurodivergent or have accessibility needs. The multi-format design means every lecture is genuinely accessible — not just technically available.

Accessibility isn't a feature. It's a foundational value.

How CPD hours add up

Lectures carry between 1 and 1.5 CPD hours, depending on the length of the individual lecture. Your certificate states the hours for that lecture, so your record always reflects what you actually completed.

All your certificates are collated in one place inside the library, ready for audit.

If your situation is a little different, these may help:

Accessibility and how the library is designed — I'm neurodivergent or have accessibility needs — how is the library designed?
