Grief and Bereavement Counselling Certificate

Grief and Bereavement Counselling

Every person experiences grief and bereavement at some time in their lives. Grief affects people in different ways. While some are able to process loss in a healthy manner and move on with their lives, others remain trapped in the grief cycle without being able to make a healthy transition to the new reality. Grief counselling can help uncover unresolved emotions and process complicated feelings. All you need to complete the course is a willing and open mind. The course includes detailed written content and an easy-to-understand video script.

    • Different aspects of the grief experience
    • The different stages of grief according to the Kubler-Ross model
    • How negative emotions like denial, anger and depression unfold during the grieving process
    • The tasks of mourning and how they provide a sense of control
    • How grief counselling helps and the different techniques you can use during counselling sessions
    • The companionship model and dual model of grieving theories
    • Factors that affect the mediation process

    Anyone who has an interest in learning more about this subject matter is encouraged to take the course. There are no entry requirements to take the course.

    The course is broken down into 5 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

    You can study the course any time you like. Simply log in and out of the web based course as often as you require. The course is compatible with all computers, tablet devices and smart phones so you can even study while on the move!

    Once you have completed all 5 modules there is a multiple choice test. The questions will be on a range of topics found within the 5 modules. The test, like the course, is online and can be taken a time and location of your choosing.

    The pass mark for the test is 70%.

    If you don’t pass the test first time you will get further opportunities to take the test again after extra study. There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test. All test retakes are included within the price of the course.

    Fantastic online course. Very informative, easy to follow sessions with a test facility at the end of each session. You can complete this at your own pace any time of day or night, without any pressure and there is even help if you need it with tutors online.

    I would highly recommend New Skills Academy to anyone looking to gain a qualification but needs time to complete the course or cannot attend classes. I look forward to completing many more courses with you shortly. A great way of learning new skills, as the name of the company suggests with a recognised qualification.

    Thank you New Skills.

    This online course really helps me in pursuing my career and gain knowledge about special education. It's very easy to use and very user friendly! Two thumbs up!

    Christine Kim Grace De Guzman

    Great teaching layout for each module. Clear and easy to follow studying method.

    I found this way of learning perfect for me, as I could study at my own pace in the comfort of my home. Being dyslexic, I enjoyed studying the modules in my own time. Support always on hand if needed, plus a bonus of being able to print off each module to add my own notes.

    Easy to use layout of the course, allowed myself to swiftly go through each module, with a small test at the end of each module before moving on, making sure the knowledge had sunk in! With a final Test at the end to complete the Diploma. I would recommend this site to others, looking to add to their skill set.

    This course was great!!!!! Made me knowledgeable in more than one way.

    I work in a landscaping company doing all HR and Bookkeeping, but wanted to further my education and start being able to help clients more than just sending them an invoice, I wanted to start designing as well. I am still going back and reviewing the plants knowledge and reviewing just in case.

    I love that you can download the modules for future reference, I will definitely be using this as a tool. And possibly taking more classes to further my education. Thanks to this course I am on my way!

    Renee Cruz

    Excellent course that not only gives me the elements to know about my interest but helps me to refresh my previous knowledge about it and about all that is related to. I feel prepared to continue studying at the end of it, and I now work with animals as a volunteer.

    I am happy to recommend to every person that wants to continue studying or would simply like to know more about pets. I don’t have much time to go to a class or can’t because of work.

    Marvellous experience, and the help of the staff through email were great!

    Silvia Esther Basik

    I am so impressed with this course. For starters it was hugely discounted which saved me money, secondly it is really easy to use. It is jam packed with information yet so easy to follow and they layout is very clean, clear and precise. I have learnt so much from this course already and I can even revisit modules as and when I need to. If you are an aspiring Makeup Artist, then this course will definitely lead you on the right path and it teaches you how to deal with clients and how to get the best out of your career.
