Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors
New career path
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...
Read more the staff at AIPC throughout my journey and was able to find work at the end of it that makes use of both my teaching experience and my counselling skills. I am so thankful to AIPC for their encouragement and support. This course has been life-changing for me.- Customer Service

AIPC Diploma of Counselling Review!
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...

Diploma of Counselling
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.

Review AIPC Completed Diploma Counselling
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

Read more always keeping InTouch as well during very difficult times. I have enrolled in the Batchelor course with AIPC as they have shown through the news letters and business models that this is where i want to be in undertaking my own business as a counsellor I would encourage anyone wishing to study counselling to look no further than AIPC as they are the leaders in this field- Teaching Staff

Great way to study
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.

Best learning experience
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.

The Course
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.

DIPLOMA OF COUNSELING
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...
Read more experience was, AIPC blocked me from their page. Just goes to show that the AIPC only cares about money and the fact that I couldn't get a job as a graduate was something they did not want people to know about. So please don't do the Diploma of Counseling, employers want a degree in psychology or Social Work, I wasted thousands on that diploma course with AIPC with no job at the end.- Customer Service

Diploma of Counselling - Great Experience
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 ...

Diploma of Counselling
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.

Diploma of Counselling Course
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...
Read morerd for further development to ensure that I am both competent and current in my knowledge. The course material was logically presented and flowed from subject to subject, allowing me to build my foundation on solid principles. Looking back, I didn't always find the learning easy (thank goodness!) but only by challenging myself, can I grow in the most effective and appropriate way. I would highly recommend AIPC. The support, assessment feedback, videos, resources, online learning platforms, opportunities for face to face practicals (mine were online - thanks COVID) and the ability to pace my studies around my work, life and family all culminated in a successful, rich and rewarding experience. To enter the world of counselling, or formalise your 'incidental counselling' experience, I believe AIPC provides the right mix of educational experiences to prepare for future opportunities.- Customer Service

Covid lockdown made me do it!!
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.

Questions & Answers
Is Australian Institute of Professional Counselling Austudy approved?
I don't think so Barry as it's a privately run RTO. Austudy is approved for government run organisations...pretty sure!
Cheers, Jo
