Brits only please. Is there somewhere adults can go for careers advice like we used to get in school?

I really could use some advice on what my options are and what courses I should be looking at as a mature student hoping for a career change. Is there somewhere that offers this service (not the job centre, unless they've changed drastically in the last 8yrs)? Prefferably I'd be looking for free advice in central London.Brits only please.

don't go to connections. they. are. ****.Brits only please. Is there somewhere adults can go for careers advice like we used to get in school?
The careers advice people in the UK are there to give advice to adults too. They don't discriminate. Also, you can go along to college or university open days for ideas and advice.
Go to your nearest college and ask to speak to the careers advisory officer. They will tell you what courses they have available to your needs and what funding you can claim.





You may need to go to university depending on how far you want to go, but the basic NVQ structure should be in their curriculum.
I would try connexions to be honest.





Alternatively go back to job centre plus (I think adding the plus on the end is probably the drastic change of the last 8 years!) and give it a shot.





To be honest I have no idea how good either of these places will be but I would give them a try if you havn't been in a while.
Try Connections, it offers career advice, and then shows you what routes you can take.
I'm not a Brit... but you can meet with an Academic Advisor at any university and they'll help you out and give you information about faculties you might be interested in and such..
If you only want Brits to answer why don't you go on the UK site?
