Why choose aifc?

At aifc we are:

Biblically integrated
Our courses integrate theology, psychology and spirituality. We train and equip Christian counsellors, rather than Christians who do counselling.
Flexible
aifc offers live online training, allowing you to fit training in within your week. We also offer face to face training throughout the year.
Supportive
At aifc we place high importance to help our students connect to our supportive and inclusive 'aifc-community'. aifc is more than an educational facility, it's a place where friendships are made and professional relationships formed.
Our experienced and dedicated Trainers and Assessors go the extra mile to make a positive difference in our students' aifc journey. aifc staff support all our students to succeed in meeting the outcomes of their chosen course.
Taught by professionals
Our trainers and assessors are all experienced professionals in their field. High quality teaching, combined with one on one access to trainers makes the difference.
Affordable
aifc has processes in place for students to pay-as-you-learn to help make studying easy and more affordable. Students who meet the required eligibility criteria can also apply for an Australian Government Vet Student Loan. Further details about the Vet Student Loan are available.
