Frequently asked questions

Who is this course for?

It is designed for HR and people-experience professionals, managers and organisational leaders, coaches, counsellors and wellbeing practitioners, and learning and development specialists.

Do I need a psychology degree to enrol?

No clinical degree is required to begin.

Is the course self-paced?

Yes. The course is online and self-paced, with no cohort dates or live sessions. Progress is saved automatically, so you can pause and resume whenever you need to.

How long will the course take?

The published estimate is 8h of total study, including the case studies and applied activities. Because the course is self-paced, how long it takes depends on your own schedule.

How long do I have access?

Course access is lifetime from enrolment. The material you have purchased stays available to you whether or not you later renew your certificate.

What assessment is required?

The certificate is issued only after you pass a final exam of 30 questions with a 60-minute time limit. The pass mark is 65%. The case studies and activities inside the course are there to practise on; the exam is the graded part.

What happens if I do not pass the exam?

You can sit the exam up to 3 times, with at least 24 hours between attempts. Each attempt draws a fresh set of questions, so a retake is a new paper rather than the same one again.

When is the certificate issued?

As soon as you pass the exam. The certificate carries your name, the credential title and a unique certificate number entered on the public register.

Can employers verify the certificate?

Yes. Anyone can enter the certificate number on the public register. The check is free, needs no account, and does not require contacting Therapy Council.

Does my certificate expire?

No. Your Therapy Council credential remains permanently verifiable in the register. The certificate also shows a Curriculum Current Through date, four years from issue, marking the period during which the curriculum version you completed is considered current. After that date your original credential stays on the register. Completing the current reassessment for an updated credential is optional. Full terms are in our Terms and Conditions.

Is this a professional licence?

No. Therapy Council is an independent private organisation, not a regulator, a licensing board, or an accredited academic institution. Its certifications attest to training completed and assessment passed. They are not a clinical licence and do not replace jurisdiction-specific licensing or regulatory requirements. If you are asking whether this counts toward a board renewal, your board is the final authority. Ask them first, and we will send you whatever documentation they need.

What is the refund policy?

Refund requests must be made within seven days of purchase. Eligible requests include duplicate purchases, an access problem we cannot resolve, and a purchase made in error before substantial course content has been accessed. Attempted exams, issued certificates and substantially accessed content are not refundable. The full terms are in the Refund Policy.

Does the course teach how to recover from burnout?

The course teaches practitioners how to support a structured, sustainable recovery from burnout, including workload and workplace factors, phased return-to-work planning, professional boundaries, and referral. It is professional training, not personal medical treatment, and learners should seek qualified care for their own health needs.

Does this qualify me as a post-burnout recovery coach?

The programme develops non-clinical skills that a coach may use when supporting post-burnout recovery within an existing professional scope. The credential awarded is Certified Workplace Well-Being Practitioner; it does not confer a separate post-burnout recovery coach title or qualify someone to diagnose or treat a mental-health condition.
