Achieving Qualifications
To achieve the qualifications, you will need to create a portfolio of evidence that demonstrates you have developed and used real life advocacy skills.
You will be assessed in different areas of advocacy including:
- listening to an individual
- providing advocacy support
- representing an individual's wishes and feelings
- making advocacy accessible
- working with other adults including professionals and carers
- using a range of communication styles and forms
You will need to be either working as an advocate (paid or unpaid) or have opportunity to use advocacy skills in real life settings.
You will need this to demonstrate you have put into action what you have learnt and how you are using your advocacy knowledge and skills.
You can expect to commit between 1 and 3 days in self study to complete each core unit and between 1 and 4 days self study to complete the specialist modules. The actual time will depend on your experience and prior knowledge, understanding and skills in advocacy.
The qualifications are offered at Level 3 and Level 4 so you will also need a good understanding of reading and writing English if you are completing the qualifications in England, or Welsh if you are in Wales.
To help you decide whether these qualifications are for you, a self selection questionnaire has been designed. You should complete this before deciding to enrol.
