Important Certification Notice
LAU Certification is NOT to be confused with state licensing. Most states have laws governing the practice of general counseling. These laws vary from state to state. The purpose of state regulatory laws is to protect the public and ensure professionalism within the counseling profession. LAU strives to attain the same goals, and more.
As Christians we know that counseling with the Word of God is the only answer for a dying world, yet at the same time, we must purpose to operate within the legal guidelines set forth by state regulations. The state recognizes that counseling is one of the responsibilities of the local church. For this reason, the state does not interfere with the ministry of counseling, if counseling is provided under the following conditions:
-
That the counseling service is provided through a legally organized/operated local church or a nationally recognized denomination.
-
That the counselor is trained and commissioned by the legally recognized organization.
For this purpose, LAU has partnered with the National Association of Christian Counselors to offer such certification.
To obtain a Certificate of Completion for either program, you must complete the following graduation requirements:
-
Attend at least 80% of the Live Zoom Classes
-
Complete all required practice counseling sessions
-
Complete all required homework assignments/reading
Any classes that are missed must be made up according to the LAU Missed Class Policy. This includes, but is not limited to watching the recording and writing a summary of what you've learned.
