1, the most important thing is to choose a reliable certificate!
Be sure to choose a psychological counselor certificate with high gold content and industry recognition! Here we recommend the basic training certificate for psychological counselors issued by the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Before 20 17, psychological counselors took the self-study exam. However, because many people do not study systematically, take exams and collect evidence, and do not have the ability to actually consult and receive patients, it has caused secondary harm to visitors and the chaos of buying fake certificates, which has led to a very chaotic market. Therefore, in 20 17, the state cancelled the second and third level qualification certificates issued by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
After the cancellation of the certificate, the certificate with high gold content recognized in the market is the Basic Training Certificate for Psychological Counselors issued by the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. But there are certain conditions for applying for this certificate. Some people can't take the exam because they don't meet the requirements after study. Therefore, friends who want to apply for the exam can take a few seconds to check whether they meet the requirements of the psychological counselor:
Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is the organization that compiles the textbooks and gives the contents of the previous 23-level and 23-level psychological qualification certificate examinations. At the same time, the Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences is also a national psychological research and teaching institution and institution. The courses and certificates of the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have inherited the contents of the original national unified examination for third-level and second-level psychological counselors, which is also a national unified examination. Therefore, after the cancellation of the certificate of psychological counselor, it is necessary to take an examination of psychological counselor, which is the responsibility of the Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
2. Be sure to choose a reliable institution!
The Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences has closed the individual registration channel. If you want to apply, you can only apply through the cooperative institution of the Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences. At present, there are more than 400 authorized agencies in official website. However, when I compared the institutions, I found a situation, that is, although the institutions are authorized by the Department of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the class hours, course contents and teachers of each institution are different! So when you choose an institution, you must know more about these aspects! Choose a reliable big institution!
① authorization
Most importantly, you must have the authorization of the Institute of Psychology of Chinese Academy of Sciences. No unauthorized registration!
(2) Look at the professionalism of the organization (scale, establishment time)
The psychological counselor industry requires high knowledge and practical experience, and various professional knowledge will be involved in the process of psychological counseling, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, hypnotherapy and so on. So be sure to choose a very professional institution.
You can look at the background of this institution, the scale of the institution, and whether it is a listed company; And the length of time the company was established and the length of time it was engaged in psychological counseling training; At the same time, you can also choose colleges with campuses all over the country. Psychological counselors are very popular in the past two years, and many small institutions have appeared. Without professional teachers and professional customer service, these small institutions are easily deceived.
(3) Teachers and course content.
Whether the teaching staff of the course is strong or not depends on whether the teacher is a professional psychological counselor and whether there is a big coffee. The stronger the teachers are, the more things they learn, and the more comprehensive and in-depth the content they learn. Before signing up, you must also look at the course content, whether it is comprehensive, whether it is in-depth and whether you can learn anything.
In addition, the course is best to be a live class, because during the live class, we can ask questions and interact with the teacher at any time; If it is a recording class, it is not recommended to apply.
4 look at the institutional reputation.
It is mainly to search the reputation and evaluation of this institution online. The main methods are online search and black cat platform. I'll teach you a way. Now there are many cases of brushing praise. In order to crack down on opponents, there are also many cases of maliciously giving bad reviews to opponents. Therefore, we can look at some real-life evaluations and evaluation times of this institution, and try to avoid the influence of praise and malicious bad reviews.
⑤ Look at the trading mode.
Choose institutions with stores in JD.COM and Taobao, and try to avoid direct payment to institutions. In this case, it is better for our security and follow-up protection to have third-party transaction guarantee and transaction record.
3. Registration and learning
After registering in the institution, you can follow the study. Nowadays, the exams for psychological counselors are all multiple-choice questions, and you can pass the exam with a score of 100 60. As long as you choose the right institution and follow your classes well, you will be sure to be admitted. And from registration to study, from examination to license, the organization will also have a special person responsible for the whole process! Don't worry about yourself at all!
4, the last is to make money!
Psychological counselors have good employment prospects, a wide range of employment directions, generous salary and treatment, will not be eliminated, and will be promoted quickly in the workplace. You can work part-time or full-time online and offline.
In 2023, information inquiry lines such as part-time/full-time platforms and psychological counselors' benefits can be stationed in large-scale consulting platforms to take orders, such as Guo Song Heart-to-Heart, 525 Psychological Network, Dolphin Psychology, Dr. Chunyu and other platforms. According to different experiences, the hourly income is different, generally between 200 and 1500 hours. Offline can be used in physical development, schools, hospitals, psychological clinics, community work, psychological service centers, etc. And wages are calculated by the hour.
However, these platforms need a psychological counselor certificate as a stepping stone! Finally, I wish everyone can pass the exam smoothly, get the certificate and make money successfully!
