York Learning has been delivering the CPCAB Counselling Training Courses since 2013 and in that time we have grown to become one of the biggest training centres for CPCAB in the whole of Yorkshire.
All members of the Counselling tutor team are fully qualified counsellors as well as experienced tutors with an extensive amount of knowledge and experience that they bring to the classroom. The counselling team are very passionate about providing the highest quality training from Level 2 to Level 4 and we put our learners at the centre of everything we do.
We have excellent training facilities within the City of York with the programme currently running from the new purpose built Community Hub at The Centre @ Burnholme (Off Bad Bargain Lane), York.
If you have any further questions or queries after exploring our website or wish to proceed to the application stage then email us at yorklearningcounselling@york.gov.uk and we will be delighted to support and guide you in your next steps.
