It's for people who get asked by learners or potential learners for educational advice and guidance. Lots of people get asked for information about learning, including librarians, youth and community workers and college admissions tutors.

What type of course is it?

It's a very flexible part time course and so is suitable even if you work full time (it can even be tailored to suit the kind of work you do*). You might be able to complete the course in one week, but usually it is run over a longer period - typically one 3 hour session per week for 10 weeks. You will be mainly assessed on your course work, which will include practical exercises, individual and group work.
The course complements the NVQ Level 3 in Careers Guidance offering supporting knowledge and theory, and you could gain credits at Higher Education Level 1
