Hello this is Dr. Don Ibbitson with Above & Beyond Counseling Academy and I’d like
to spend a few minutes to acquaint you with our Christian counseling degree program. By
way of introduction Above & Beyond Counseling Academy is part of the Above & Beyond Counseling
Ministries which is a worldwide ministry headquartered in Tampa Florida. The ministry provides Christian
counseling and deliverance ministry services locally and worldwide via Skype and the Academy
focuses on education and training services to equip the Saints for the work of ministry.
Our Christian counseling degree program is set up with the National Christian counselors
Association we are was called a certified academic institution with them this program
provides self-paced home study courses to allow motivated students to gain their Masters
or doctoral degrees in clinical Christian counseling and also be licensed with BNC CA
is basically for programs one is a licensed only as a combined bachelor and Master’s
program Master’s program or doctoral degree program if you have a bachelor’s degree
already you can work to acquire your Masters if you have a Master’s degree and you can
earn your doctoral degree. In fact that's the program I went into. I had a Master’s
degree in business and wanted to work towards a doctoral degree and obtained that through
this program. There is good news for students who do not have a Master’s degree we have
what's called the fast track program for mature students who do not have the degree to help
you get a bachelor’s degree quickly and work towards getting your Master’s degree
in clinical Christian counseling brief overview of the program these are self-paced home study
courses are done via books DVD or over the Internet no classroom courses are required
take a look at the different programs in on this on the website using their very affordable
pay-as-you-go modules people ask how long does it take I tell you it'll take as long
as little as effort and time you schedule put into it because basically you do them
on your own pace. There are also numerous seminar seminary choices available that you
get your degree, once again that's on the website as well and because of the Internet-based
nature of the courses is available worldwide and we do ship courses worldwide as well.
I will be the clinical supervisor who was assigned to help you and for the foreseeable
future until we get overloaded that's going to be me I will be your clinical supervisor.
All courses were written by Christian therapists. There is a group of common core courses that
pretty much everyone he has to take there are elective and advanced courses that you
get to choose from in different fields especially if you're in your Masters or PhD programs.
The thesis requirement is met by doing some number of counselor reports that are based
upon the Arno profile system. The Arno profile system is a clinical diagnostic tool that
you learn about in the program it's extremely useful extremely helpful and I almost a cornerstone
the law the counseling that you're going to be doing what is the manager the program I
think you look at the courses and the pricing compared to what we call brick-and-mortar
mortar schools rather are very affordable okay a much less expensive and then maybe
some other options he might have you can graduate when you're reading because it's a modular
courses and pay-as-you-go. No classroom studies so if you're good at scheduling your time
you can get through the program in relatively quick order. and you might if you are on a
program schedule dictated by my campus and another huge advantage and believe is the
NCCA licensing is concurrent with your degree in other words when you graduate with a degree
are also licensed with the National Christian counselors Association. If you have an interest
take a look on the website find the program you think you might be interested in a review
