As a minimum requirement you must have English GSCE and be able to confidently produce work at Level 2 standard. You must also possess basic IT skills as you are required to use Moodle, the Stockport College online learning resource. We can take people aged 18 years or over. However, due to the nature of the course, emotional resilience and an ability to reflect and draw on life experiences is essential. You will need to understand the demanding and personal nature of the course. Whilst this course is by no means therapy” for some it can present an emotional challenge. We therefore ask you to consider whether you can take on the course at this time. For example, we welcome applications from those who have experience of therapy, however, joining the course whilst still in therapy needs to be given careful consideration. An information session will be held prior to the start of the course. Attendance at one of the sessions is mandatory and forms part of the course selection process. Please note: if you have been in recovery, we ask that you have been clear for a minimum of six months before applying for this course. The course will run subject to minimum numbers being reached.”
