How do I enrol and join the next intake?

At a Glance

The course runs on intake-based enrolment. Most prospective members start by downloading the course handbook from the sales page (free, no commitment), then enrol when the next intake opens. A waiting list operates between intakes.

Step by step

1. Visit the Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling page.

1. Download the course handbook — a free document with the full course content, time commitment, eligibility, and pricing details.

1. Read the handbook to confirm the course is right for you.

1. When the next intake opens, complete the secure checkout — pay in full or via the payment plan.

1. You'll receive your welcome email with login details to the learning portal.

1. Begin the self-paced modules at your own pace, and start thinking about who in your network might be a buddy for the practical work.

1. Receive your certificate and 80 CPD hours on completion.

The handbook-first approach

Choosing a CPD course is a significant decision. We've deliberately built the journey so most members start with the free handbook download — giving you time to read through everything in detail and make an informed decision before committing.

This is why the sales page leads with "download the handbook" rather than "enrol now." It reflects our belief that you should know exactly what you're signing up for.

The waiting list

If you read the handbook and decide the course is for you, but the current intake is closed or full, you can join the waiting list. Members on the waiting list are notified before public release of new intake dates, so you'll have first chance at places.
