Delegates who would be attending this training would generally fall in one of the following categories:
– Registered social workers (SACSSP) and/or counsellors (HPCSA/ASCHP) who are already working as school counsellors and would like to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the field.
– Social workers or counsellors, registered with a professional body who would want to receive additional training to be able to ethically and competently look for work as school counsellors.
– The many teachers who are employed by a school, finding themselves in a situation where they are responsible for learner’s emotional support, usually without having received any training to do so, whatsoever. They might include LO teachers who end up being the person learners are referred to if there are emotional concerns.
The certificate of completion that delegates will receive will then also depend on in which category the delegate finds him/herself in.
