Adviza.org.uk

A full-line careers advice business, registered charity and established social enterprise, delivering paid-for careers services and products to a wide range of schools including academies, grammar schools and independents, with a volunteer mentoring offer.

Qualified staff offer guidance within schools and to individuals. Advice covers GCSE and A Level options, choosing college and university courses, career planning, finding apprenticeships, psychometric tests with feedback, interactive workshops, small group interviews, support at careers fairs and events for parents.

Adviza provides intensive support for vulnerable young people, and advises schools on how to achieve a careers education quality award and meet Ofsted requirements. They have services for undergraduates, graduates, and professionals seeking a career change. 

"We respond to the needs of the school; it is often appropriate to deliver a generic message relating to futures and careers education to larger groups and follow this with individual support. We can also find that young people with similar interests or strengths can benefit from a group interview, within which they can adopt a co-mentoring role. We are often invited to attend careers fairs to give impartial advice and to inform on professions not represented on that occasion."

Adviza offers a bursary for individuals who cannot afford to pay for their services.

  • Finding a state grammar school

    Counties such as Kent or Buckinghamshire are ‘selective authorities’ and most families will have at least one grammar school close to where they live. Elsewhere, for example in Reading or Kingston-on-Thames, there are just one or two grammar schools and competition for places at these is ferocious. How to find a state grammar school Grammar schools are located in 36 English local authorities. Almost half of these are considered 'selective authorities' (eg Kent and Buckinghamshire), where around one in five local children are selected for grammar school entry based on ability. The others are areas such as Barnet or Kingston,…

  • Schools for children with performing arts talents

    As proud parents, we all know our children are unique. They're smarter than anyone else's, funnier, certainly more attractive, better behaved and above all bursting with the kind of talent that would leave Daniel Radcliffe, Jamie Bell and Charlotte Church standing. And for some extraordinary - though totally understandable - reason, everyone but us seems blind to our offspring's God-given artistic gifts.
