WAEC subject combination (requirements) for Guidance and Counselling

The subjects needed to study Guidance and Counselling in WAEC must contain five (5) credit/ TC II merit passes . This subject combination is also applicable to NECO AND GCE… The O level requirement, that is, the required WAEC subject combination for Guidance and Counsellin must include

  1. English Language

Counselling is a type of talking therapy that allows a person to talk about their problems and feelings in a confidential and dependable environment. A counsellor is trained to listen with empathy and to understand the problems of the patient. They try to help deal with any negative thoughts and feelings. Counselling is good for those who want to study a medical subject, but who can’t quite carry out the cold, professional distance needed to be a doctor or nurse.

This is a profession where the means and methods of study and care are constantly changing and evolving. Therapeutic models are constantly being researched and improved, and you can be at the forefront. This course provides a balance between academic work, skills development, professional practice, and individual personal development and self-awareness.

 

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Guidance and Counselling 

Knowing JAMB subjects for Guidance and Counselling is not enough. You should aim for a score of 180 – 200 and above in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just a piece of advice) because anything short of that may deny you of Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider College of Education or Polytechnic… Please note – JAMB is not the only option for admission. If you’re having troubles JAMB UTME maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND or Predegree.

These are JAMB UTME subject combinations (subjects to write in jamb) to study Guidance and Counselling

  1. Any three subjects.

 

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Guidance and Counselling

If for some reasons you are not satisfied or cannot meet up with this admission requirement that is the subject combination above, perhaps you should consider other Guidance and Counselling  similar courses or take a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related course subject requirements. You can also study online with a foreign university right from your bedroom or apply for a scholarship to study abroad or within. Education is now a choice.
