# For CTEVT PSC students: how this atlas maps to your course

The CTEVT Psychosocial Counselor course has four modules. This page shows which pages of the atlas teach which part, so you always know where you are in the syllabus. Everyone else can safely skip it.

How to read the statuses: "covered here" means the atlas teaches most of that sub-module at curriculum depth. "Partly" means the topic is named here, not taught in full; take those rows to your trainer to go deeper. "Not yet on the site" means nothing is written yet. Statuses are honest on purpose, so you know what to ask for. A few pages sit beyond the exam syllabus (OCD, eating, sleep, the deep dives) and carry the "beyond curriculum" tag on their own pages.

## The course in numbers

**780 hours** over six months, 620 in-house plus 160 OJT. **600 marks**: 100 theory, 500 practical. Pass at a **60% average**; **90% attendance** required. Five of every six marks are practical, so practising the skills matters.

| Module | Hours | Marks |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 · Psychosocial Intervention | 165 | 100 |
| 2 · Case Management | 60 | 150 |
| 3 · Counseling Skill and Process | 322 | 200 |
| 4 · Capacity Building | 73 | 50 |
| OJT (practical placement) | 160 | 100 |

The curriculum PDF numbers its modules two ways in different places. This site follows the course-structure table above, where Psychosocial Intervention is Module 1. A few older pages still show the other numbering.

## Why the atlas order is not the curriculum order

This atlas follows the reader: foundations first, then the disorder families, then the skills of the job. The curriculum follows the job itself, four modules a counsellor carries out. Same syllabus, different sequence. Every topic that is on the site is findable here, by topic or by search; the rows marked "partly", and the row marked Coming soon, are the ones to take to your trainer.

Key points

1. Every module and sub-module of the PSC course is listed in the course map above, each with an honest status: covered here, partly, or coming soon.
2. The course is 780 hours and 600 marks; 500 of the 600 marks are practical, so practising skills beats memorising.
3. The atlas reads like a book, the curriculum is a job: same syllabus, different order. The map marks every topic on the site and every gap honestly.
**Sources this page draws on:** CTEVT PSC Curriculum (2010) · the overviews on [Wellbeing & intervention](https://manoatlas.com/wellbeing.md) and [Case management](https://manoatlas.com/casemgmt.md) · DSM-5 (2013) where the pages link through. The hours, marks and module structure are the curriculum's own numbers.

This is a student study resource, not a diagnostic instrument. Diagnosis belongs to qualified clinicians; the psychosocial counselor detects, supports, refers.
