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.

By Nouveen Yousaf on 8/4/2026

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.

By Eszter H. Bartha on 5/8/2026

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

One of the best course. Before enrolling the course I saw Dr . Ankita kashyap Ma'am profile deeply in LinkedIn insta Google's, she's one of the best reputed doctor too. Tedx talk speaker . I'm going to enroll 2 another course from her. I'm medical social worker.

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

By Julio César Valerio Porras on 4/1/2025
