Advice NI

The courses have been of interest to a range of staff from voluntary, statutory and private organisations including the Patient Client Council, CABs, NIHE, Land and Property Services, City/District Councils, NI Assembly and so on.

Participants have found the training and reference materials extremely useful for example;

“Thank you for an excellent course. It was probably the best training course I have ever taken, I found it very informative but enjoyable as well. I still refer back to my file all the time for advice. (Participant from Armagh City Council).”

All courses are accredited with OCNNI at level 3, although accreditation is optional.

Training Provision in the Voluntary Legal Advice Sector | 30/09/2010

In order for the Voluntary Legal Advice Sector to contribute to the delivery of the Opening Doors strategy (DSD, 2007), the Advice Services Alliance (ASA) Training Working Group produced a skills base report, and it is in response to this that they have commissioned Skills for Justice to deliver this piece of research, analysing training provision and the extent to which training relates to the National Occupational Standards (NOS).

The findings show that current training provision is not, to a large extent, based on NOS, although respondents were able to see that this could be achieved. It is recommended that further work is undertaken to progress this as embedding the NOS in training, along with robust assessment processes, is the key to ensuring best practice and ultimately enabling the accreditation of learning in the future.
