If you want work that meets people on their worst day, start here. You cover crisis assessment, response plans, family emergencies, trauma and the legal side. A tutor answers when you get stuck.
How a first responder steadies a person.
Family emergencies, trauma, addiction, ethics.
A short look before you commit to more.
Helplines, refuges and outreach teams work this way daily. The college suggests further training or a placement to build hands on practice.
Stay with people through the sharp end.
Take calls and hold the line steady.
Back up a team that turns out to emergencies.
Support people leaving unsafe homes.
Give time to a local prevention service.
Handle first contact, notes and referrals.
Roles where these skills help, not promised outcomes. Counselling roles in Ireland need approved study and registration.
The modules move from first contact to running a response service.
Three things this one gives you.
Read the situation, then act on it.
Where the limits sit in crisis work.
How a crisis response service gets built.
Plus CPD credits on completion
Issued by the college when you finish.
Credits toward your professional growth.
Job listings, CV review and interview prep.
A helpline, a refuge, or more study later.
An advisor will tell you the limits.
Upfront, or weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Enrol and open the first module.
None is needed. It is built for people starting out.
Around one hundred hours, at whatever pace you set.
None, ever. You work through the modules and finish.
Some of it is. The course carries a content warning for distressing material.
It carries ICOES and CPD Standards Office accreditation. It is not a QQI course and not a national award. It is a first look at crisis work.
You will know how the work runs and where the limits are. It does not lead to registration as a counsellor or psychologist in Ireland. Support and volunteer roles are the usual next step.
There is a fourteen day money back window, less the admin fee.
A course advisor. Tell them the job you want and ask if this fits.
This course is delivered by The Career Academy.
Its courses are accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. They are not QQI awards.
Picture the call where you are the steady voice on the other end.
