Child psychologist courses are a field of psychology that specialises in understanding the development and mental health of children. Using common psychology theories to describe child development, and exploring tactics suitable to addressing mental health issues, this course is an excellent option for anyone looking for a career in youth counselling, child development, child health and well-being, or child psychology.
This child psychology course is a rich resource that will allow you to gain insight into some of the most popular psychological concepts, such as the theory of attachment, Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, Freud’s psycho-dynamic theory, forms of play and learning theory. It also explores more practical concepts like principles in research methods, data collection and interpretation and applicable methods to drive behavioural changes.
An online child psychology course is an ideal home-learning option for any parent or professional in childcare who has an interest in healthy child development. It is just as good of an option for practising therapists who would like to add child psychology to their area of interest.
There are no prior requirements for this online course. You can enrol and start studying child psychology straight away, regardless of your academic qualifications or professional background.
By the end of this course, you will have a great understanding of child psychology and its theoretical background, as well as the practical insight of how to apply these notions in real-life counselling.
You can choose to complement your learning with other psychology or counselling courses, or you can choose an Access to HE Diploma in Social Sciences with a psychology pathway, which will prepare you for a degree in child psychology.

The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 4 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

Anyone who is studying for or has completed a course endorsed by an Ofqual approved awarding body is eligible to join Qualifications Register. The Qualifications Register (QR) is an independent register that aims to serve both members of the public and those professionals who hold recognised qualifications.
QR's primary aim is to provide transparency to members of the public and employers. The QR is a searchable database that allows them to find a practitioner and view the relevant qualification and endorsements the practitioner holds. The member of the public is then able to make an informed decision in relation to the suitability of the practitioner. QR also tracks whether practitioners have insurance, again something that is useful for members of the public. QR can also help professionals gain insurance or find professional indemnity cover. Click here to find out more.
Members of the public can check an independent source with complete confidence that the practitioner has the qualification(s) they claim to have and that any additional CPD the practitioner has, is verified and quality assured to make sure that the CPD is being done on a regular basis. QR tracks a practitioners endorsed CPD (in unison with our CPD accreditation partner Lifetime Awarding) and other key signals to help members of the public and employers to come to a more informed decision about the professional they intend to use. This is an enormously valuable signal that's increasingly important as business becomes more deregulated and privatised.
For practitioners QR helps you market your skills, endorsements and feedback transparently to a wider audience. It also gives you access to a community to help make you more able to progress and succeed in your field of expertise. Click here to find out more.
