As teachers and advisers, you’re balancing a huge number of demands while guiding students through one of the most important decisions of their lives. That’s why we created Adviser Fundamentals — a practical, confidence-building training day designed to give you the clarity, skills, and support you need to feel fully equipped for the UCAS cycle.
Whether you’re new to advising, looking for a refresher, or simply want to make the process easier and more efficient for you and your centre, this training brings together everything you need in one place.
Five great reasons to book your place
- Expert answers to your questions
Every centre works differently, and we know you’ll arrive with your own unique experiences and challenges. Our UCAS experts will be on hand throughout the day to help you troubleshoot, sense-check, and find solutions tailored to your context. You’ll leave with clarity and confidence to navigate even the most complex scenarios.
- Step into the student mindset
With thousands of courses, destinations, and pathways available, it’s no wonder students look to you for guidance. We’ll explore how to break that complexity down — giving you tools, frameworks, and timing advice to help students make confident, well-informed decisions.
- Connect and share best practice
Build connections with fellow advisers working in a huge range of settings across the UK. You’ll hear what’s working for others, learn new approaches, compare challenges, and share strategies you can take back to your centre. These conversations can become long-term support networks — giving you fresh perspectives and new ways of working that strengthen your practice.
- Application management hacks
Time is your most limited resource. We focus on practical techniques to help you work more efficiently in the adviser portal. You’ll learn how to streamline your processes, reduce repetitive admin, and save time across the cycle — all while supporting more accurate, consistent applications.
- Practical takeaways to support your centre
You’ll leave with practical materials to support your work back at school or college, including the full presentation deck to share knowledge, plus access to printed resources. These takeaways make it easy to embed what you’ve learned, cascade knowledge across your team, and strengthen the support you offer to students right away.
If you want to feel more prepared, more connected, and more confident for the UCAS cycle ahead, Adviser Fundamentals is the perfect place to start.
