Are you new to the world of giving advice to post-16 students?

Student discussion

The UK has the largest higher education (HE) sector in Europe, with over 50,000 courses and over 300 universities and colleges in membership of UCAS. Given all this opportunity, many young people would find the sheer diversity of choice overwhelming if they did not have access to professionally competent advisers in their schools and colleges. As a new adviser, you may be daunted by the prospect of providing the level of professional advice that your students (plus, of course, their parents) will expect.

How we can help

By attending, you will enhance your ability, whatever the circumstances of your school or college, to successfully counsel students on all aspects of applying for HE. These sessions are focussed on meeting the requirements of those supporting applicants that are based in the UK. If you support international
applicants, please see scroll down for details of our international knowledge sessions, specifically
designed for you.
