On successful completion of the diploma, students progress into the Griffith University Bachelor of Counselling with credit. During university studies, students gain the theoretical knowledge and applied skills in preparation for registration and practice as a professional counsellor. Students obtain advanced counselling skills by completing a counselling practicum, counselling theory and practice, methods of coaching and group facilitation, and case management.
