AIPC Graduate Angelie Miaco shares her story… “Studying at AIPC was definitely a choice in life that I will never forget or regret.

AIPC Graduate Genevieve Ballarin shares her story… “At the end of January 2003 I began my journey with AIPC. Working full-time, I found the study packs a lot less onerous than I had anticipated and it was easy to pace myself. Each evening I was ‘staying in’ I started studying at a set time and finished at a set time. I found that if I didn’t set an end time as well th... »
AIPC Graduate Louise Gourley shares her story… “The six million dollar question when you’re doing this course (Diploma of Professional Counselling) is – will it lead to a paying job and how will I get one.
