Students are to choose a target audience for their fact sheet and discuss two theories from the unit information. One theory is to be a counselling theory and the other theory is a career counselling theory. The information is to be aimed at providing information that would be useful for their target audience.
As a counselling professional, you will frequently be asked to provide information in a visual format, either to engage a particular audience or to facilitate understanding. Although the quality of the textual content of your assessment remains the main measure of success, acquiring the digital skills to present the information in a visually appealing medium is a key part of your studies at ACAP.
