Orca Institute is pleased to announce a collaboration with Opening to Grace Training. OTG graduates receive training recognition, with course exemptions and a reduced Counselling program fee.
ACCT (Association of Co-operative Counselling Therapists) has added specific courses to their existing academic requirements for membership in their association.
Accordingly, as an Associate School with ACCT, Orca Institute is offering this program to meet ACCT's new membership requirements in this program.
We recommend that our graduate students become members of ACCT.
Please note: Our Counselling Skills Program is separate from our Counselling Hypnotherapy Diploma Program. A student is not required to take these courses to get their Diploma as a Counselling Hypnotherapist (Cand.) or their Basic Hypnotherapy Certificate.
