The NCC have launched another competition!  It closes very soon (this coming Wednesday in fact!).  You will need to move fast if you plan on entering. You just complete a simple quiz to see whether you would have the required skills/personality to be a counsellor.

The prize is one year’s free access to the counselling skills level 2 course!  Ideal if you think your well suited for a career change.  This is your chance to get a suitable qualification to progress in the field. The survey doesn’t take long to complete.  At the end you add your email address and get your result.

I really like competitions like this because you’re winning so much more than just a prize!  Your winning the possibility to be inspired to try something completely different and who knows where that might lead you! Where I live employment opportunities are very limited.  Something like this would be perfect, it might unlock a whole new career path for me.

I did the quiz myself as I wanted to see how I would do.  I am not great at compromising if I want something and hubbie doesn’t I tend to put my foot down to try and get my own way!  But I must have done okay on some of the answers as I do listen to him, I try and find solutions and be calm when he has problems. It gave me 5 out of 6 right to be a counsellor – so I just need to work on those compromising skills and not be so used to having my own way!!! I feel like I have benefited from doing the survey as least I know which aspect I need to improve on.

Win a counselling skills level 2 course

The prize is worth £243 (as its reduced from £324) at the moment.  You can then think about progressing to level 3 and level 4 if you decide you really want to help and support people. It’s a great starter course.  You don’t need any previous knowledge or qualifications and you also get the assistance of a tutor for the 12 month period.
