Howmuch supervised practiceshould I do whilst training?
Whilst the number of hours specified for a supervised placement may differ from course to course, BACP Accredited courses must have a minimum of 150 hours supervised practice plus 50 hours of work based learning. Such opportunities for work-based learning might typically include clerical duties; attending team meetings; case management conferences; reading literature, policies and procedures; skills practice; structured training; observation, assisting, mentoring or job shadowing activities, all of which should be consistent with the learning outcomes of the course. Work-based learning activities are separate to the counselling placement required by the course.
