    LPC full-time & working part-time / LPC part time & full-time work?

    Hi! I did the LPC part-time and worked full time hours (over 4 days) - I know you're asking for a full timer's advice but I thought I'd share a bit about my experience. I think the LPC is intense as it self (right!) but it's manageable if you stay organised and committed to studying well and...

    How hard is it to pass the LPC?

My tutors used to say it is easier to pass the exams than fail them and I would probably agree! You don't need thorough reading but good understanding of the foundations. Also go...

    Your thoughts required (again!)

    I like the idea of nominating other members every once in a while - I think TCLA is unique and different from other forums - there is more of a community feeling and willingness to help others! On the rewards, I previously won a free TCLA premium subscription (before TC) and as a current...
