The practice of counselor training is a complex, intentional process of reflective educational and experiential activities to promote the development of attitudes, knowledge and skills.

The primary goal of counselor preparation programs is to educate and train students to become competent counselors by equipping them with necessary skills, knowledge and experiences.
