Course Overview
As a science, psychology is the study of the human mind and its wide-ranging functions and influences. This course helps you understand human behaviour and mental processes and allows you to better understand how we think, act and feel. Studying psychology gives you an edge when it comes to interactions with friends, family, co-workers, employers, and even in romantic relationships. You’re more likely to achieve harmony and mutual satisfaction. Our academic course introduces important concepts and tools.
This course will start by taking you through the basics of psychology and counselling before moving into some more advanced concepts for a more holistic learning experience. You will gain the knowledge and expertise to work in a diverse range of environments or in social groups allowing you to pursue a career, gain employment or better understand behaviours of family, friends and people around you.
Once you have completed the course you will be able to get started in this huge industry while opening up a great pathway to a larger degree such as a Diploma in Psychology. Typically a Psychology Diploma will take 6+ years so this course will give you a great insight to gain on the job experience while deciding if you want to take your qualification further down the track.
