First, how to choose a formal psychological counseling and training institution
There are many psychological counseling training institutions in the market, but if you choose an informal training institution, you will not only learn real knowledge, but also waste time and money. When you choose a psychological counseling training institution, you should pay attention to the following aspects:
1, training institution certificate
Certificate is the proof of training qualification, which represents the basic recognition of the training scope and ability of the institution. Therefore, when choosing a training institution, we must see whether it has the training qualification of a psychological counselor. Secondly, we can look at the certificate of training qualified students in this institution and see if we can train professional excellent psychological counselors.
2. Reading time
It mainly depends on the study time, how many hours to study every day, how many days to study every week, etc. Generally, the training hours of regular psychological counselors should be more than 400 hours. It should be noted that some informal training institutions will lengthen the learning cycle, but the actual class hours are not many; Others will arrange the contents of other related courses into the class hours, and there are not many class hours for actually learning psychological counseling courses. Don't choose this.
Step 3 look at tuition fees
When choosing psychological counseling training institutions, we should pay attention to tuition fees, which are generally proportional to class hours. The tuition is too low, which means that there are definitely not many class hours and the training effect will not be very good. In addition, we should also pay attention to whether the composition of tuition fees is reasonable, and reasonable training fees should be linked to employment services, curriculum system, educational system, certificates, teachers and so on.
4. Look at the teaching methods
Learning psychological counseling requires both theory and practice, and attention should be paid to whether there are practical courses when choosing; In addition, some training institutions teach online, and the problems encountered in learning may not be solved in time. It is recommended to choose face-to-face teaching.
