Counselling Training Course
The Helios practical training course for psychology students is now a course at a university in South Africa.
See the revised program to be aligned with the university's requirements.
If you are a people helper in your heart but you don’t know how to reach that
goal, we can help you to make your dreams come true.
We offer you a practical counselling course (now a short learning
program of UNISA). The course consists of workshops
totalling 80 hours.
We will also help you (if you would like) to register with the Council for
Counsellors, and the Health Professional council (you have to adhere to the
requirements of these councils for us to be able to help you.) We also offer you
support when you start your own practice.
The total cost of the course is R7400-00. To book your place please complete and
forward the registration form as well as
proof of payment of deposit of R900. The balance is payable before or when the
course start. You can pay with a cheque, cash or make an internet transfer into
our bank account, details to follow. If you do the ten month course you can pay
over ten months, provided that you give us proof of a stop order that you
signed. The cost will then be R900 deposit and R680-00x10.
Please Contact us via telephone or e-mail (lorette@helios.co.za) if you have any questions.
