    The course is called "COUNSELLING SKILLS NUI CERTIFICATE"

    It's pricey - €1325!

    The Irish Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy has a list of courses that they accredit on their website: http://iacp.ie/register-of-accredited-courses
    That might be a good place to start.

    I would recommend doing a course that meets IAHIP criteria for accreditation on graduation. There are good courses too that meet IACP requirements. If you have an idea of such a training in mind, then you can find a foundation course that will leave you in a good position to gain entry. Depends on what location works for you.
