CBCT Ltd Level 6 Course in Counselling Children and Young People Online 2024-2025 TOP UP

Our Level 6 ‘Top up’ Independent Learning Course

For 2024 and beyond we have introduced a ‘top up’ short independent learning course which will allow you to ‘upgrade’, if you wish to, your Level 5 in Counselling Children and Young People to a Level 6, also accredited by OCN London.

This Level 6 is only open to counsellors who have attended and passed our Level 5 CYP Course and the course is open to our learners once they have passed the Level 5 Assignments within their first or second submission.

The cost for the 2025 cohort will be £500. Please note this may raise for 2026 depending on costs and the course is only open to 12 counsellors per year. Counsellors are booked on to the course between November and March and we will provide all of the materials at the beginning of April.  The full fee is due by 31^st March each year.

As there isn’t a live teaching element within this short top up course it is ideal for those who enjoy independent driven learning and research, would like to move to holding a Level 6 in Counselling Children and Young People and can take responsibility for their own learning and assignment completion.

Course outline

To pass this Level 6 you will need to:

• Pass one assignment (a 4000-word case study due at the end of July).
• Attend a group tutorial in April.
• Read /Watch 10 additional resources.
• Complete an additional 20 clinical practice hours with at least two clients under 18.
• Complete an additional 5 hours of CYP only Supervision hours.
