Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors

I am a teacher who has wanted to change career direction for a few years now. I tried a few things, studied a couple of courses. The Diploma of Counselling was finally the perfect fit for me. The self-paced nature of the course worked brilliantly, as I could literally take 6 months or 6 years to complete it. I really loved it, was super motivated and found the content fascinating. The opportunity to do in-person prac seminars was so worthwhile, as I could connect with other students and learn from the amazing supervisors. I felt so supported by...

This is a long story so strap yourselves in!

When I first considered enrolling I initially thought that AIPC was a newly made, scammer organization, consisting of 2 total staff members who were ready to steal my precious money.
(I mean what kind of suspicious name is AIPC anyway?!) :P
I soon realized that wasn't the case.

My experience with the AIPC and the Diploma of Counselling has been really great.
We were provided with support, adequate resources, great facilitators who were kind, caring and insightful and of course, a generous and bea...

I really enjoyed and learnt a lot from this course. The course content covered a lot of material and the study guides and readings were interesting and relevant. I completed the study whilst working fulltime - at times it was challenging but managed to finish in 18 months. The Perth staff were very supportive and encouraging as well as other colleagues. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to be a Counselor and it is great because it is self paced to suit your needs.

Excellent teachers & the course content was very interesting. I learnt a lot & am now looking forward to putting it into practice. Thanks to the pracs with experienced & knowledgeable facilitators, I feel prepared.

I am completely satisficed with the content and the complete course outline that drilled into the topic being studied and made me gain an understanding as to the unit

Initially I was apprehensive as to what to expect and the further I progressed the easier it became due to its structure

My Review

Finally completed my Diploma and what an inspiring journey it has been with the Team at AIPC. A special thank you to Alice, what an inspiration you are in follow up and understanding as to my journey, it has made studding very enjoyable and Rob for...

Very satisfied, it was easy to follow and understand and great support and feedback when needed.
It was challenging, but the support was great from the teaching and admin teams

The course content was in depth, self paced so I could take my time and find further information to expand my understanding.
I completed all of my pracs in person, and this was a great way to meet other students, learn more and have further feedback.
Those that the other end of emails if I ever had any issues were prompt and efficient.
Highly recommended.

I studied online and the student support was exceptional. The course made me think and challenged my knowledge. The practical exams were done by professionals who offered even more knowledge. Couldn't have asked for a better course to enrol in.

Great services, great courses, and amazing support !!
Simple and easy to get started, receive course material, excellent online portal with all your study needs !!
Best part is it can cater to your busy lifestyle with a go at your own pace style.

Found it an very interesting course. The topics, the pace and study materials provided are extremely useful. The videos and the various relevant links are good sources of information and assist in the understanding of the subject. The support staff were professional and always ready to assist.

Did the Diploma of Counseling as I thought it would lead to a job. It did not, this course is rubbish and out dated and it costs a lot. Please don't listen to the false statements from AIPC about jobs, employers want degrees in Psychology, Social Work not a rubbish, unrecognized Diploma in Counseling. I've applied for Hundreds of jobs with this course and nothing. Really upsetting to see false claims and this RTO taking students money for nothing at the end. As I complained on their Facebook page so other perspective students could know what my...

I completed the Diploma in Counselling a few years ago now and have currently opened my own private practice. The experience that I had at AIPC from the time of enrolment until I graduated was so smooth sailing. Enrolment and instructions on how to study online and attend the practicals in person was clear and concise. I always received feedback and my assignments were marked within a couple of days or the next day.
All the staff from admin, facilitators and support staff were very helpful and supportive throughout my time in doing the Dip of ...

I signed up for the Diploma of Counselling and have been very happy with the course material and the support I have received so far on the course.
I have had to ring a few times to ask some questions and all issued have been resolved while I am on the phone.
I would highly recommend AIPC for anyone wanting to study.

I completed the Diploma of Counselling in July 2021, and since then have been running a part-time private practice. Now is the best time to write a review because it's now, when working with clients, that I recognise how thorough and informative the training was that AIPC provided through this course. The breadth of subject material covered and the resources provided for future study (essential for meeting CPD requirements) is excellent. I find that I am referring back to the material regularly to refresh my memory and using this as a springboa...

Last year I signed up to study the Diploma of Counselling. I now wish I had done this several years ago.
The course is fabulous. I am learning a lot about myself and the wonderful world of psychotherapy!
The Adelaide office offers kind, compassionate and professional support. All of the staff are always there to assist, guide and educate. I feel proud to be part of SA GREAT. Can't speak highly enough of AIPC as a whole. Would definitely recommend this to course to anyone who is interested.

If there is anyone living down south who would like a study buddy...let me know please.
