The majority of CPD for guidance counsellors is provided by the Supervision of Guidance Counsellors programme administered by Monaghan Education Support Centre and the Institute of Guidance Counsellors.
Funding provided for CPD for guidance counsellors since 2018 is as follows:
2018 €0.138m
2019 €0.216m
2020 €0.186m
The provisional budget for 2021 is €0.189m
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the delivery of CPD moved online during 2020. This did not affect the level of CPD provided to guidance counsellors. The level of CPD provided was similar to 2019.
