Course Load • Each course is estimated to take 10 hours per week (3 hours lecture, 7 hours reading, research and writing) • Full time students – usual maximum is 4 courses per semester • Part-time students – usual maximum is 2-3 courses per semester
Part-time students • Be wise! Set a healthy example of self care! • It is not possible to work full time and take 2-3 courses! • Most of the core counselling courses are only offered during the day time • There is a 10 year time limit to complete all requirements for graduation
Course Requirements • 27 semester credits • HOWEVER: internship has an equivalent workload to 4 semester credits (ie about 15 - 20 hours per week for a minimum of two semesters) • But Internship only appears once on your transcript • Effective total: 30 semester credits
Additional Requirements • Time to process the material • Time to interact with other students • Time to explore the personal issues the courses raise • Time to HAVE A LIFE (family, church etc.)
Students in the clinical track are expected to engage in individual professional counselling for their own personal growth and development. This will normally take place concurrent with the Family Systems Course
Ongoing registration in the clinical track is subject to successful annual review of the student’s progress by the counselling faculty.

INTERSESSION 2016 • Spiritual Care of Dying & Grieving • Leadership Development
SPRING/SUMMER 2016 • Core Courses: most of the Bible, History and Theology courses will be offered

Course Registration • Students can register online for their courses • Some courses now have a maximum enrolment cap • Students may end up on a “waiting list” • Sometimes the waiting list will trigger us to offer a new section of the course, but not always
Course Registration • The Tyndale Calendar (from the Registrar’s section of the website) lists all of the courses and the pre-requisites for each course • The Counselling Major download site has a list of courses that are offered every year and which courses are offered every-other year
Certification/Accreditation • Tyndale will provide an education in counselling theory and practice, but does not offer certification by a professional organization or professional college membership
College of Registered Psychotherapists Membership • All practicing psychotherapists in Ontario will need to apply for membership in the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO)
An application is being prepared seeking to get Tyndale’s Mdiv (Counselling Major – clinical track) degree recognized by CRPO indicating that it satisfies the educational requirements of the College of Psychotherapists
Certification/Accreditation • Certification bodies include: • AAMFT (The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy) • CASC (The Canadian Association for Spiritual Care [formerly CAPPE]) • OSP (Ontario Society of Psychotherapists) • OACCPP (Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists)
