What's in the course handbook and how do I get it?

At a Glance

The course handbook is a free downloadable document with everything you need to know before enrolling — the full course content breakdown, structure, time commitment, eligibility, recognition, and current pricing. It's the most thorough single source of information on the course.

What's inside the handbook

The handbook gives you:

• The full course curriculum — every topic covered, in order

• Module-by-module structure — what to expect at each stage

• Time commitment breakdown — how the 80 CPD hours fit together

• Eligibility criteria — confirmed entry requirements

• Recognition details — BACP framework alignment and NCPS Quality Checked information

• Practical considerations — what equipment you need, what buddy work involves, what peer support is available

• Current pricing — full fee and payment plan options

• Frequently asked questions — addressed in detail

How to get the handbook

The handbook is available as a free download from the course page: Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling.

You'll be asked to provide your name and email address, then receive the handbook by email along with helpful follow-up information. There's no commitment — downloading the handbook doesn't enrol you on the course.

Why we suggest reading the handbook before enrolling

Choosing the right CPD investment matters. The handbook is designed to give you a thorough picture of the course before you commit, so you can make an informed decision. We'd rather you read it carefully and decide it's right for you than enrol on impulse and have regrets.
