Overview

Our Careers, Information and Advice apprenticeship is fully-funded, and is for those who provide impartial information and advice to clients on learning, training and career opportunities. Learners could be working in roles such as job coaches, careers assistants, learning and development support, and employment related services. 

As part of the apprenticeship, both the mandatory and optional units will be assessed as an evidence based e-portfolio, which will include knowledge and competency based activities. These can include work-based case studies, witness statements, observations, personal statements and knowledge questioning.
