Professional Training

Old Syllabus

The Haven Institute for Professional Training is an educational centre that offers a wide range of courses and opportunities for professional training. Many participants choose to return on a regular basis to continue a personal desire to blend and adapt learnings to their relationships with family, friends, community and work. Others choose to pursue the Intern training opportunities.

Intern training at The Haven Institute can be tailored to suit the needs, desires and circumstances of the student. Training can be stretched over several years with a mix of short (2 to 6 days) and longer (13 to 26 days) courses. With the guidance of the Director of Education, the student can follow either the Intern Training, Certificate in Counselling or Diploma in Counselling path.

Intern Training
After participating in a series of courses, students may begin Interning. They will assist and support Faculty while gaining clinical knowledge. Recognition is received upon completion of the required Interning hours and course credits.

Certificate and Diploma in Counselling Programs
PD Seminars Ltd, the parent company of The Haven Institute for Professional Training, is registered in the province of British Columbia as a Private Post Secondary Institution in accordance with the Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia (SBC CHAP 64). It is a certified educational institution under Section 118.5 and 118.6 of the Canada Income Tax Act.

With this Certification and Registration we offer a unique opportunity to attain either a Certificate in Counselling or Diploma in Counselling. During initial stages of Intern Training, and with the endorsement of the Director of Education, students will be guided to one of these paths. Training in these areas involves assuming more responsibilities assisting faculty and supervising less experienced interns, plus additional credit hours and clinical studies.
