Australian College of Applied Psychology
A fresh approach to learning
At ACAP, we believe that the only way for you to learn how to build relationships and communicate effectively with people is to do just that.
So we’ve designed an approach to learning, which allows you to put the theory you learn straight into practice.
Whether you want to build more effective communication and team management skills, or get the qualifications you need to practice as a counsellor or coach, we will ensure you are ready to make a difference from the moment you graduate.
ACAP is an innovative centre of excellence for education.
We’ve been helping our students discover new skills for over 26 years. Our graduates have gone on to work in public, private and not-for-profit organisations in Australia and internationally, as counsellors, community service co-ordinators, HR managers, life coaches and much more.
We maintain extremely high academic, ethical and professional standards – just one reason why our graduates are in such high demand.
How will I learn at ACAP?
Our small classes, group discussions and role-play activities allow you to really get to know your fellow students and educators. They, and your supervisors, play a key role in helping you achieve your personal and professional goals.
Depending on your course, you may also learn through a student placement, or workplace internship. This can give you a valuable head start in your career as you will have experience on your CV before you graduate.
