Counselling Placement Unit Webinars

In September 2017, ABC Awards updated the guidance and associated documents for the Counselling Placement Unit within the ABC Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. We produced a webinar in which we explain these changes, which can be accessed from here-
Counselling Placement Unit Update Webinar.

In addition, in February 2018 we held a Q&A webinar on the unit which gave centres the opportunity to submit questions they had regarding the Learning Outcomes or Assessment Criteria of the unit, on any aspects of the units’ administration or on the online e-portfolio for the unit, AchieveLive. We also recommend viewing this webinar, which can be accessed from here-
