Who is this course for?

The generic Solution Focused Trainers Level 3 Certificate in Solution Focused Practice has enabled students to apply the approach to a wide range of settings including mental health, social care, offending services, private practice, in-patient mental health, education, FE counselling services and CAMHS.
