Ocst.co.uk - Counselling in the Kings Lynn, Norfolk - Online Supervision and Training in the Lincolnshire area (1 of 5 points)

I would think twice about signing up and parting with your money. Firstly they advertise as 7 weekly tutors, it's not uts 7 fortnightly tutor sessions, but you dont find that out until they enquire further, so their advert is false.
Secondly it's not 100hrs cpd offering full ACTO membership you have to make the additional 13 hrs up another way to qualify for ACTO.
Thirdly what isn't explicit, is that upon signing up and parting with 399.00 you have to add in 10hrs role plays, additional online supervision which you pay for, you pay for module 6 also. In addition the organisation is woolly. Students are left to organise their own groups. Which means the majority will go with what suits, I found this left atleast 1 person cancelling clients to fit in all the studying, reading, writing, role play activities and module 6 etc. Its a lot to fit in the very short space of time. It is not a simple 7 week course with a bit of roleplay, you will need a lot of flexibility and time to fit this course in over the 7 FORTNIGHTLY tutorials. Then you have 6 weeks after to submit taking this course to around 16-17 weeks. There are other companies providing good quality training delivered in a more transparent and manageable way. I dropped out due to time restraints, I wish I had been told the expectations of everything before I parted with 399.00. You only get the handbook once you've paid. They say ask questions, but I feel it's up to the course to advertise and publish the requirements in full so students can make an informed decision as too whether they should buy or not. You cant ask questions about what you dont know yet! Very unhappy what a shame
