ACC, through the work of Pastoral Care UK (PCUK), is also concerned to resource and equip individuals, churches and organisations in the work of pastoral care. As part of this, PCUK has produced several training resources and has developed a Regional and Overseas Training Scheme, more details of which can be found on the PCUK website at Pastoral Care website Some pastoral carers may progress along a continuum of training and beyond PCUK’s Resourcing Pastoral Carers Course (RPCC) into formalised counsellor training.

Christian Counselling training is steered by our Training Development Group (TDG) which meets to make sure that our ACC approved courses meet our criteria. We work with external validation bodies, for example OCN and CPCAB to ensure that we meet their criteria, along with ensuring that the Christian faith element is integral to all the courses.
