Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Diploma of Counselling course cost?

You can view the schedule of fees for the Diploma of Counselling on our fees page. Remember, we offer a Best Price Guarantee — if you find it offered elsewhere at a lower price, we will beat that price!

Why are your counselling course fees so low?

We often wonder why the fees of other courses are so high! At the Academy of Counselling, we believe education should be priced fairly. Accordingly, we have structured our fees to be the fairest in Australia — without compromising the quality of the counselling training we provide.

How long do your counselling courses take?

The diploma of Counselling is deigned to be flexible to your lifestyle. Students have up to 12 months to complete the course, however if you study for a few hours each day, you can finish sooner. This means you can start practicing sooner as well! If you require more time, extensions can be arranged for a small fee so you can complete your Diploma.

After I enrol online, how long will it be before I can start counselling courses?

You can begin counselling courses right away through your student portal. You will be posted out your first workbook as soon as your enrolment is processed.

Do I need to use a computer to do my counselling course?

You will need access to a computer for this course, due to components being via distance.

What sort of counselling training can I expect?

We deliver comprehensive, competency-based counselling training that emphasises many exercises to build practical skills, knowledge and self-confidence. This commitment to hone your skills as a counsellor to the highest level is backed by unlimited email access and mentor support with your trainer, and course materials of the highest quality — designed and delivered by practising counsellors with decades of experience.
