Unlock your potential

Whether you’re looking to qualify as a counsellor, upgrade your skills, or specialise in a specific area of counselling, ACAP will support you on your journey of self-discovery.

Learn by doing

Put theory into practice with small classes, group work, role-plays and student placements. ACAP offers a dynamic learning environment, offering opportunities to practice discuss and reflect upon the approaches you are learning. You’ll form lasting relationships with educators and fellow students, and you’ll be work-ready when you graduate.

Flexible study options

Diversify the way you study to fit your ACAP qualifications around your work and family commitments. Choose from on-campus study in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane (degree and vocational courses) or Adelaide (vocational courses); or flexible delivery or a mix of modes part-time or full-time.

You can also study single counselling modules, which will (depending on the module) then count towards your Counselling Diploma, Counselling Bachelor, Graduate Diploma, or Master's qualification
