Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC™) Training Program and Credential ~ ONLINE
Course Description: The computer and the telephone have long been invaluable tools in the workplace and in the home. It's not surprising that they have emerged as invaluable tools in the world of counseling as well. As distance methods have grown in popularity, the need for standards of practice and specialized counselor training has also grown. To address these issues, ReadyMinds, the leading provider of distance career counseling and distance training along with the Center for Credentialing and Education, Inc. (CCE), an affiliate of the NBCC®, is pleased to announce its Distance Credentialed Counselor (DCC) Training Program.
Distance Counseling involves some significant challenges. Even the most seasoned counselors may have concerns about engaging in distance work with their clients. These concerns might include:
- What are the ethical issues involved in Distance Counseling?
- How can I build a strong working relationship with my clients via distance?
- How can I confirm, if I am presently practicing Distance Counseling, that I am following best practices and delivering efficient communications to my clients?
- What legal issues do I need to be aware of?
- What technology do I need for effective Distance Counseling?
The ReadyMinds Distance Credentialed Counselor Training Program is designed to address these concerns and help counselors to incorporate distance methods into their current work settings.
Requirements to PARTICIPATE in the ONLINE DCC Training Course include:
- An earned Masters degree in counseling or related field from a regionally accredited college or university. You DO NOT have to possess advanced computer skills to participate in the training.
