Rejected petition Fund HNC/D Counselling Course 2024/25 at Fife College
Fife College has been told the funding for Counselling courses has been cut and due to this all the full time courses will be cancelled for the years 2024/25, meaning the only course will be part time. There is no course near Fife that will offer the same level with a BACP registration at the end.
More details
The UK is in an ever growing Mental Health Crisis. The UK are crying out for support from therapists and the Scottish government cut the funding for the full time HNC and HND courses at fife college. Without this course those wanting to dedicate their life to this career are unable to. Those currently undertaking the HNC are unable to continue due to all the other courses being too far away or not BACP registered. This is vital for the UK.
