Working for citizen advice?

What qualifications are needed?? Is it possible to volunteer and been trained??Working for citizen advice?
I think you must not have explored this option in any depth- go look on their website, get involved- most people start out as volunteers.





To do well in this type of work you do need to be good at finding information, ( as after all most people who use the CAB service are looking for advice and information). So prove this now by getting out there and doing the research.Working for citizen advice?
Hi, I volunteered for about 18 months. When i went for my interview they asked about my qualifications but i got the impression they weren't so important. As long as you come across as level headed, intelligent etc. in the interview you should be OK. You also need to guarantee them that you are going to stick with it, and work hard. It costs them alot of money to train you, and they want to make sure it's not money wasted. Howevr, if you do get in, it's fantastic experience, and it's great to put down in your C.V. I'm now studying Pharmacy in Uni, and i'm a single mother of two children! i'm sure it's my CAB experience that helped me get in. There where 1400 applicants for 90 places...... need i say more. Go for it! Email if you need any hints or tips x
i think it is possible to volunteer and train, phone them locally and ask
