Advice and Guidance

We recognise the importance of honest, impartial guidance to help you choose your course. We have recently been awarded matrix accreditation which recognises the quality of information, advice and guidance (IAG) so you can be sure that the IAG you receive from the College will be friendly, personalised, informed and professional.

"RFDC is resolute in not only achieving results, but in creating the delivery of a service that realises the best possible outcomes for its learners. The College has fully embedded IAG provision across the whole college and its performance can be measured alongside the very best". Matrix report statement.

Adult Guidance Service

The Adult Guidance Service is a free, impartial service available to adults in the Forest of Dean and surrounding areas and is available throughout the year. Appointments are held at the Five Acres Campus but can also be arranged at other locations in the area by request and in some cases outside of normal office hours. This service can provide you with information about courses, careers and getting back in to work. It also includes help with CV writing and interview skills.

Contact the Adult Guidance Service by calling 01594 838435 / 838432.
