Master of Counselling
"The AIPC staff have great real world experience which they bring to our learning and that just lights up and adds so much value to the theory that we're learning.
I feel that AIPC represents an organisation which says, 'We don't just want to do things for people, we want to cause them to be skilled to make a change in their lives and that of others.' And I really value that, because for those of us who are thinking, 'I'm too old, what would anyone want with someone like myself' — as a person that has lived experience and is older, you have these gifts and skills that you can pass on to others. And one of the things that is really valuable about counselling is that when you change one life, you can actually end up changing a generation.
So I totally recommend going ahead with your counselling degree, and I particularly recommend AIPC."

"The thing I love most about studying at AIPC were the people, they were very supportive. If I had any problems whatsoever with the content, it was very easy just to pick up the phone and converse with one of the lecturers or one of the support staff."
"There was a big gap between when I finished college and when I decided to study the Master's, with my daughters, my husband, all my other commitments, I was worried it would be too complicated. But that's why I love AIPC, it's flexible, supportive, professional. The lecturers know their stuff and love sharing it, the staff are amazing, and you have the support to study at home, at your own pace. I've felt supported through my entire journey, and I'd recommend AIPC to anyone, for the Masters or the Diploma."
"I was a client in counselling for a while and I started to realise that it was an incredible gift that people can give and so I thought, I'd like to have a go at that, and here I am. For anyone who's thinking about studying here or moving into counselling, give it a go, who knows where it's going to lead you. The place where I am now is different to where I thought I would be, but it's better. If you want to be someone who's making a difference in the lives of others, I really just say give it a go."

"The moment I enrolled with the diploma, I knew straight away this was the right place for me and it was an absolute given that I would continue on with the Bachelor.
I am very busy person. But I do find that with the study, I understand that there is that balance required, which I've been able to sustain all the way through my studies.
I absolutely, 100% recommend AIPC for anyone considering counselling, whether that's a diploma, bachelor, masters, any sort of stream that they're interested in."
