What our graduates and students are saying

"Counselling is not just a career but a calling because it's powerful, meaningful and genuine work. Counsellors walk beside their clients through challenges but they are also there for the quiet breakthroughs, it's very rewarding.

I was in various industries beforehand– graphic design, web design, ecommerce. Then I had two kids and realised I needed a change. I took a really big leap and decided to commit to the Diploma of Counselling and it was the best decision I've ever made. The freedom to study at my own pace. The phone support was really good and the assessors were amazing. They really set you up to succeed."

"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."

"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."

"With AIPC, its not just about studying, it's about what's beyond that. "There's so much emphasis on practical learning. It does actually prepare you for the job itself. It is flexible. You can mould it to suit your life.

"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.

"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.

"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 look forward to using my Diploma to continue helping others in their life journey."

"The support of the AIPC team was brilliant and I have made some lifelong friends and colleagues"
