CSCT - the UK's Premier Supplier of Counselling Training Materials

CSCT has been dedicated to the provision of the highest quality training for counsellors and those wishing to develop their people skills for over 25 years.

A Unique Provider

Counselling training is one of the fastest growing areas of vocational and part-time study in the UK. Our courses attract not just those interested in becoming a counsellor. Individuals from many other walks of life study with us for their own personal reasons. Many simply have a strong personal interest in acquiring some counselling skills; others undertake our courses to enhance their inter-personal skills and their general potential at work. CSCT provides a range of courses specifically to cover every level of interest. Full details of all the courses are contained in the 'Courses' section.

CSCT courses are available throughout the UK via a comprehensive network of FE Colleges and private providers. For full details please click on the 'colleges' link of the main menu.

Bespoke Training Programmes
