The AQA Advanced Diploma is an appropriate vehicle for the Personal and Professional Development required for Life-long Learning.

this vocationally related qualification will provide the appropriate balance of support, guidance and process to the training and study which they will need to achieve their goals.

Counsellors are trained and practice from one of three main core theoretical models (Core models). Each model has it own unique characteristics and belief systems which both influences and shapes the counselling process.

In this specification unit one addresses all three main core models, candidates will learn the key concepts of each and also compare and contrast the effects of different core theories on the counselling process. On completion of Unit one the candidate is able to make an informed choice of core theoretical orientation for his or her own progression to counselling competency.

Unit two is set entirely on one or other of the core theories and is designed to facilitate candidates progression to competency as a counselling practitioner in one of the core theories only and to prepare them to progress further into higher level study. AQA centres must only offer Unit two to single core theory groups. It is important that each group is comprised of candidates all studying from the same core. This is to encourage best practice in teaching, and learning strategies, which will include group activities, peer learning and experiential learning methods.
