Graduate Diploma of Relationship Counselling

To achieve the Graduate Diploma of Relationship Counselling, candidates must complete 50 hours of counselling practice under supervision. Evidence provided by the supervisor will contribute to the assessment of the candidate's ability to apply skills and knowledge as specified in the core units of competency.

This course was designed to train Korean and other ethnic communities, and the training will be delivered in their own languages. A recognition of prior learning strategy may also be utilised for students with previous qualifications, knowledge, skills and work experience.

A student whose result for an assessment item is 'Not Yet Competent' will have a second chance to resubmit the assignment. If the result of the second submitted assignment is still not satisfactory, the student will be required to pay a penalty and may resubmit their assignment as their last chance. If the student does not pass the subject and wishes to continue studies, they will be required to re-enrol into that subject and will be charged in full for those units.
