Why Do We Have Only 1 Intake a Year?
Some colleges allow students to start whenever they want - Beware...
Those colleges have students joining in with students half-way through training or at the end of their training. The new student is often overwhelmed and misses a lot of basic knowledge needed to become foundationally skilled.
Any professional and leading College has students start at the beginning. Like when building the pyramids, you set up a strong base foundation before adding the higher levels of learning and understanding, you are creating a solid structure that will last forever. The AHC ensures students have a solid base of understanding before building on more advanced therapeutic skills.

Many students are confused when colleges speak about not using scripts in their training
Some colleges tell students not to use scripts, leaving them unsure what to say and how to say it. At AHC, we support you with professional, evidence-based dialogue templates that you can rely on from your very first practice session. Then we teach you how to transform them into personalised, highly effective sessions for every client. Students learn how to build structure, tailor language, and eventually design their own therapeutic frameworks, making your work more personal, clinical, consistent, and far more successful.
