Overview

Carl Rogers developed person-centered counseling in the middle to latter decades of the 20th century. A person-centered approach to counseling is based on a humanistic philosophy that assumes people are inherently growth seeking and capable of leading fulfilling, productive lives. This course will provide an overview of person-centered counseling, including the history of the theory, core concepts, theory application, and how a person-centered method of counseling compares with other therapeutic orientations.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
