About the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors
The Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC)
is the largest and longest established educator of counsellors in Australia. The Institute was Australia’s first, and still is the only exclusive, national provider of counsellor education. Our focus is the same today as it has always been – to provide you with the highest quality counsellor education with a full range of student and graduate support functions.
Over the past 18 years we’ve helped over 50,000 people from 27 countries pursue their goal of becoming a counsellor. Educating counsellors is our sole focus. And this focus gives us some very unique insights into the needs of the industry.
We have a dedicated team of psychologists, counsellors, curriculum writers, educators and industry representatives, whose sole purpose is to ensure our courses are of the highest educational value. This is a wealth of knowledge and experience AIPC brings you.
The standard of counsellor education set by the Institute is exceptionally high. All Institute Lecturers and academic staff for our tertiary program have their principal post graduate qualifications in Counselling, Psychology, Behavioural Science or another appropriate discipline, and all meet national registration requirements. Institute Lecturers also have several years practical counselling experience combined with recognised instructional skills.
