Therapy Council Credential Register
Each certificate carries a unique number. Anyone holding that number, a client, an employer, a school, can look it up and see the record. No login, no fee, no waiting on us to confirm it by email.
The record shows the holder's name, the certification and the issue date. Credentials remain permanently verifiable in the Therapy Council register. The Therapy Council Credential Register verifies credentials issued by Therapy Council. It is not an NCAHP, RCI, or government professional register.
Questions worth asking of any certification body.
Therapy Council publishes what its programmes teach, requires assessment before certification, and issues numbered credentials that can be checked without contacting us.
How Therapy Council worksWhat is Therapy Council?
An independent private certification body for mental wellbeing practice. We provide self-paced professional education, assess every learner, and issue a numbered certificate only once the assessment is passed. We are not a licensing or statutory regulatory body. About Therapy Council
What does a Therapy Council certification verify?
That the named holder completed a specific programme and passed its assessment. The register record shows the holder's name, certification title, certificate number, issue date and Curriculum Current Through date, so clients, employers and schools can check the credential directly.
Who are these certifications for?
Coaches and practitioners, teachers and school staff, HR and learning teams, students, and people moving into wellbeing work. No clinical degree is required to begin. Licensed clinicians should check with their own board whether a programme counts toward renewal. Browse certifications
How does this help me upskill?
Each programme adds one working skill to a job you already do rather than replacing a degree. Modules teach applied practice, ethics and scope. The assessment checks you can use it. The numbered certificate gives you something to show a client, a school or an employer. Browse certifications
How does Therapy Council assess learners?
Assessment is part of the programme, not a reward for watching lessons. Applied case work runs through the modules and each programme ends with a graded assessment. A certificate is issued only on a pass.
How can someone verify a certificate?
Enter the certificate number on the public register. The check is free, needs no account, and does not require anyone to contact us. The Therapy Council Credential Register verifies credentials issued by Therapy Council. It is not an NCAHP, RCI, or government professional register. Credential Register
Is this a professional licence?
No. A certification records training completed and an assessment passed. It does not grant a licence to practise, replace a regulated qualification, or permit use of a protected title. Local laws and professional bodies remain the authority for regulated practice.
How long does a certification take, and what does it cost?
Programmes are self-paced, with no cohort dates or live sessions. Total study hours and current price are published on every certification page before you enrol. Course material stays available after you finish.
Does a certificate expire?
No. The credential and its register record stay permanently verifiable. Each certificate shows a Curriculum Current Through date, four years from issue. After that date the original credential remains on the register, and sitting the current reassessment for an updated credential is optional.
