Course Description

The Level 4 Apprenticeship in Advice and Guidance in Wales responds to the increasing number of organisations providing information, advice and/or guidance in specialist areas. From careers advice and employability skills to money management and support services.

This qualification is for individuals whose job role has leadership or management responsibility and involves working with clients providing information and support, assisting individuals to address barriers and make informed choices, for example:

  • Support services

  • Careers advice

  • Advocacy

  • Jobcentres

  • Voluntary sector

  • Employment-related services

  • Housing

  • Mentoring

  • Citizens Advice

  • Debt services


Many people work in roles where they are not aware they offer an advice and guidance service, or where this only forms a small part of their role - for example,

  • HR

  • Police

  • Education

  • Fitness coaches and

  • Training advisers.


There are two qualification pathways which can be chosen depending on your role.

  • Pathway 1: Diploma in Advice and Guidance Level 4
  • Pathway 2: Diploma in Employment Related Services Level 4

Entry Criteria

  • No formal qualifications required, although a similar qualification at Level 3 may be beneficial
  • All apprentices must have an employer who can cover the NVQ criteria

All places are subject to satisfactory interview.

Delivery

The majority of training is provided in the workplace. However, the college may require apprentices to attend college-based sessions to complete theory tasks and tests.

Assessment

  • Completion of a portfolio of evidence
  • Work-based observations
  • Theory-based tasks and tests

Progression

You could choose one of the many different courses available at Grŵp Llandrillo Menai.
