Hi Buffydog,
The training is quite straightforward. You have to fill in a questionnaire to start with and your Counsellor has to approve your training.
If you get that questionnaire right, then you go off on one day's training and then send in an exam paper after the training day.
That's the bit I've just passed and that's when they let you start seeing clients. Then over the next 3 months you have to send in 5 modules and then attend another training day.
I sent off my application form in July, and I'm set up to see clients already, so its quite quick really.
