“I attended an Observership course and a Career Guidance course conducted by Karthik Sir. He patiently answers every single question asked in class. He ensures we finish the course with our doubts cleared and brimming with confidence. He includes live counseling sessions in all the courses. He also provides expert supervision for our first steps into counseling. His course materials are nothing short of a reference book. In short, you can go into CCS Academy as a novice and come out as a confident counselor.
