This is very important. I had people contact me over the summer thinking they were doing a properly assessed course and they were not.
If you’re a career-switcher worried you’ll be “tested on paper but not trained for real client situations”, this matters.
Not all courses show you how theory is assessed alongside supervised, client-facing practice.
Before you enrol, ask schools for the exact assessment pathway and check for:
1) External verification (e.g. the NCH Gold Standard)
2) Level 4 academic qualifications
3) A curriculum split between theory and practical application
Save this, then compare properly with NCH-approved schools.
