How to Apply for Trainer Approval

The National Counselling Society recognises the importance of supporting training organisations in the key role they have to play within the development of our profession.

The NCS has a unique ethos and provides an easy to understand application process. In this section we provide you with all the information you need to know about applying to become a training school member.

If you are looking for Individual Membership or Organisational Membership, please visit the respective page.

How To Apply

  1. Discover our great selection of membership benefits for your training school - and your students and graduates.
  2. Find out more about our different levels of training school membership. Whether you offer an in depth Diploma level course, a short introductory course or a distance learning course, you will be guided to the appropriate membership level (you do not need to understand all the different criteria to make your application). If your training school is already a member of another professional body we can fast track your application and offer you a similar membership grade – and can also give you clear guidelines on upgrading your current grade.
