So far I'm learning because the instructress is clear in explaining foundational counselling concepts.
By Chuck Lindsey on 8/26/2026
There's lots of good information. I'll be refering to the manual often. There are some technical issues where the slides shown don't match the audio. I found that following along the text in the manual while listening to the audio to be more helpful.

I have just started this course, and it already seems promising. The material fully aligns with my future goals of understanding counseling skills, so it is indeed valuable to me. The first few chapters have been clear and practical, giving me a solid start. I feel confident that this course will help me build the foundation I need.

This course was a truly positive experience for me. The lectures were clear, well-structured, and motivating.
By Aayushee Thakor on 12/26/2025
Don't feel a connection here, because of no slide changes, no human interacting, just a slide and that's it. Otherwise, The content is nice and the level of learnings spread is also good.
By Manisha Kumari on 11/22/2025

I did not get my certificate the lessons 190, 191, and 192 did not show because the lessons did not continue
By Oluwayomi Peace FAROMIKA on 7/16/2025
The audio does not synchronize with the displayed lesson. It usually plays the one prior to the one displayed hence affecting harmonizing audio with text during sessions
