Some information to help you get started in becoming an international school counselor...

First off you should know that there is no “one” international school counseling credential that you need to have to work in international schools. Schools vary in what they require, and can hire, in their country according to their school policies and government regulations. If you are interested in being a school counselor,  we can best advise you to seek out the credentials you require in your home country. Also note requirements can vary based on the state (for the United States), country (UK, Australia, Ireland, etc) and province (Canada, for example).

Please note: There are some international programs where you can receive a Certificate (which is not the same as a Counseling Credential and may not allow you to work back in your home country should you return) or get a Master’s in Counseling.
