“…Thus, translating and evaluating the validity and reliability of CCS to be used by trainee counselors in the Malaysian context have been an important purpose of the study. First of all, this study is in line with the study by Xia et al (2021) using a standard forward-backward translation process to translate CCS. However, there is a difference in terms of the context where the CCS is translated into Chinese language and culture by Xia et al (2021), meanwhile, this study is based on the Malay language and local culture.…”

“…There were a few tested psychometric properties that are available to measure trainee counselor competencies (Xia et al, 2021). Nonetheless, up until now, there is only one psychometric property that has been developed to measure the competency of trainee counselors to measure in comprehensive supervision (Lambie et al, 2018) and this has been empirically tested through the CCS .…”

“…Some share similarities, but there are also some others that differ. To this day, there has yet to be a consensus or agreement about the kind of competency that can be achieved (Xia et al, 2021;Barnett et al, 2007). Nothing is more critical in the debate over the issue of counseling competency other than to define the term (Ridley et al, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study is to translate the counseling competencies scale (CCS) in the Malaysian context, and subsequently to test the validity and reliability of the psychometrics. Specifically, there was a limited number of psychometric items to evaluate counselor-in-training competencies. Recently, CCS was designed to evaluate trainee counselor competencies including counseling skills, dispositions, and behaviors as it is one of the ethical obligations that need to be fulfilled. However, the CCS has not been adapted culturally or linguistically for the Malay population since it was developed overseas. Previous literature indicates that until now, only one study found translated CCS into Chinese language and culture. On the contrary, there were a few studies carried out on the reliability and validity of CCS. Yet, all of these studies were conducted outside the local context which was a gap in the implementation of this study. Hence, this study was implemented at 9 public universities in Malaysia with samples n=204 internship students and n=62 internship lecturer supervisors involved. The result empirically proves that the Malay version of CCS is valid and has a good consistency. This study also increases the number of competency psychometrics that are applicable to counseling supervision in this country. Furthermore, it provides supervisors and educators with a reliable tool to assess counselor trainee competencies. In contrast, the results might not be representative of all counselor trainees in the counseling program as only the internship students were involved. Future studies should involve trainee counselors from all semesters to ensure the generalizability of the findings.
