# Are the psychology courses accredited? (PSC)

 

Our Psychology and Counselling courses are not accredited by NZQA; however, they are internationally recognized and accredited by respected organizations such as the International Council for Online Educational Standards (ICOES), the CPD Standards Office, and the International Approval and Registration Centre (IARC).

You can learn more about these accreditations here: [https://careeracademy.co.nz/accredited-courses/?srsltid=AfmBOoqNbACm5CGkA0SZCTu83bo0tLR05a2RKSifpafHSTCutIXrFvld](https://careeracademy.co.nz/accredited-courses/?srsltid=AfmBOoqNbACm5CGkA0SZCTu83bo0tLR05a2RKSifpafHSTCutIXrFvld)

Upon completion of many of our Psychology and Counselling courses, you’ll also receive a complimentary 12-month membership with the International Association for Counselling.

Our psychology courses are accredited by the following organizations:

**International Council for Online Educational Standards**

The ICOES guarantees you a high standard of content with measurable outcomes from a reputable training organization. ICOES is the accrediting body that establishes, monitors and continually develops the educational standards of online teaching institutions.

The below courses are accredited:

- Certificate in Counselling
- Psychology Fundamentals - An Introduction
- Diploma/Advanced Certificate in Psychology and Counselling

**International Accreditation and Recognition Council (IARC)**

The council’s primary purpose is to provide a simple recognition and accreditation system for distinguishing quality, post-secondary education. IARC is a global organisation and operates independently of government. They focus on ensuring the quality and consistency of courses and services provided by their member’s institutions.
