Curriculum
Courses you will study...
The NCCA field of study for each degree program or licensing comprises a series of six mandatory Core Courses (three in Phase I and three in Phase II) plus optional choices from Advanced Courses in Phase III to meet the program requirements.
In addition, the Masters and Doctorate degree program 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”.

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 & Beyond Counseling Counseling are true to their name. They were professional and go to great lengths to assist you with reaching your goals.
Above & 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.

I would also encourage everyone to attend the Above & Beyond Counseling Academy. It is reasonably priced, the curriculum is self-paced and very informative,
I chose A&B for the quality of courses available and very fair cost for the degree I chose. I want to thank the staff and especially Jan who spent time with me to inform me, guide me and most important pray with me.

My experience at Above and Beyond was enriching. The foundational principles Dra. Richard and Phyllis Arno laid out on creation therapy were deeply rooted in faith, providing a transformative perspective.
This training will transform the lives of the clients and enlighten and profoundly impact the counselors themselves.
