The Career Guidance and Counselling training has given me a wider and clearer view of career pathways. The need for intentional careers aligned to personality cannot be underrated. The training was both inspiring and satisfying.
Completing the short course in career guidance has been a transformative experience. It gave me a clear, practical framework for supporting people from self-discovery to decision-making and goal setting. I now feel more confident and equipped to guide others.
The knowledge came to me at the time I needed it. As a teacher and counselling psychologist, many issues I meet with parents and learners are now answered by psychometric assessment. CCA, you are God sent.
