Theoretical training:
The first component of your training course will consist out of a recap of the theory that you have already encountered in your tertiary studies, as well as additional more practically applicable theoretical information. Depending on the group; we might either skip certain components in class and require of you to recap on your own or go through it thoroughly in class to get everyone up to speed.
Practical training:
The second component of your training course will consist of your practical training. This will already start in your first four weeks, where we will require of you to practice the skills taught in class, on one another. We might also require of you to divide into smaller groups to work through case studies and do some role play. This part of the training will already count towards 20 of your required number of hours.
Internships:
The third component of your training course is the internships that we have organised with various institutions. The aim here is to give you an opportunity to not only observe, but also practice the skills that you will be acquiring throughout this training course.
You will not be placed at one specific institution, but rather, will work at various different organisations, so as to give you a broader experience. Please note that, to register with the ASCHP, you will have to complete a minimum of 100 hours. After your first 100 hours under supervision, you will receive a certificate to acknowledge the completion of these hours and we will assist you with your registration.
However, you will only receive your formal Humanitas Certificate of Completion; after completing an additional 120 hours of practical work under supervision (220 in total).
Course Outline
Please note that this course is NOT a purely theoretical training course. We know that, with a degree and especially with an honours degree, you are already all theory’d-out! Our focus falls on practical skill development; based on the theory you already (hopefully) have mastered.
Every module includes practical applications for use in counselling settings, various case studies and a vast amount of practical knowledge will be gained.
Each module contains a wealth of applicable information as well as ample opportunity for discussion and group or individual participation.
