Centre of Excellence for Counselling
Riverside College has offered counselling courses for 20 years and today has over 300 students enrolled on courses. The college offers a variety of counselling courses, from Level 2 introductory courses, through to BSc (Hons) degrees in both adult and children and young people’s counselling, in partnership with the University of Staffordshire. We take immense pride in our consistent track record of exceptional high pass rates and, more importantly, the successful transition of our graduates into the world of work.
We have worked closely with local organisations and employers to ensure that the curriculum meets the current, future local and regional skills needs. The Centre of Excellence will continue to deliver high standard courses which promote confidence and employability skills in future counsellors.
