Many graduates with a psychology Bachelor’s degree or an honors degree as well as individuals passionate about Mental Health struggle to find a career path or employment that meets their needs. Additionally, master’s degrees are awarded based on the graduate’s working experience.
However, did you know psychology graduates and those with a desire for helping others can achieve their career goals by becoming coaches, counsellors, or MH therapists?
The truth is this:
After you complete our SFL-ITCP training, you can earn a living while gaining experience, and most importantly, increasing your chances of getting accepted into honors and master’s programs.
The majority of our former students have established their own practices, and most have been selected into honors and master’s programs.
