Our Programs
We offer Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate tracks (see below) and an option to secure a counseling license only.
NCCA licensing is included in each degree program and the student has seminary choices.
The NCCA field of study for each degree or license field of study comprises two phases, with six mandatory Basic Courses. There are choices from Advanced Courses to meet the Phase III program requirements.
In addition, the Master’s and Doctorate degree programs have a thesis requirement which involves the preparation of counselor reports prepared under the guidance of the student’s Clinical Supervisor.
These reports are prepared from interviews conducted with individuals based upon a review of their Arno Profile System report. This methodology is a cornerstone of the NCCA program and is introduced in the Phase I course called “Creation Therapy”.
Tuition is payable in modules or on a per-course basis which is the “Easy Go” option.

What Our Students Say
Dr. Donald Ibbitson was very welcoming when I was going through my search. Plus, I felt that Above & Beyond Counseling Academy had everything I need to become a Counselor.
I believe the faculty at Above and Beyond Counseling are true to their name. They were professional and go to great lengths to assist you with reaching your goals.
Above and Beyond provides the opportunity to earn a degree through their online program which is convenient for those who are in full time ministry and are unable to do resident education.
I absolutely enjoyed the content of information that was provided to me that allowed me to become a more informed and confident Therapist. I also enjoyed and appreciated the timely response and the great feedback of the instructors.
