Qualifications in
Independent Advocacy
We know that qualifications are a great way to demonstrate that you know what you are doing. Our goal is to support you to achieve your qualification so you can confidently show and be recognised for your skillful practice. We offer a truly cost effective way of completing qualifications that helps you grow.
Why choose KMT?
Put simply, we love advocates and we love advocacy!
-
We want to support you to be the best version of yourself.
-
We understand advocates - we have been there and have lots of real world experience to draw on to support you through the challenges of your role.
-
We know everyone is different - one person loves to write 1000 word essays and another prefers to talk things through and show us what they are good at. Our assessment approach is infinitely flexible and we are confident in assessing what makes a good advocate. If you have specific learner needs let us know and we will agree together the best journey for you.
-
Our experience is rich - we wrote the first set of qualifications when they were first launched way back in 2007 and have led all of the developments since this date. We know these qualifications inside and out.
-
We have a reputation for taking advocacy seriously and will use this to support you to achieve your qualifications.
-
We get people through - we support most learners to achieve their qualifications in around 12 months.
"My assessor provided great support to progress through the qualification by communicating really well. Also excellent online resources"
This was such a positive experience. I have recommended KMT to everyone I know!
"Bloody brilliant!"
"She was very supportive, I told her I was not good with being supervised as it was a trigger for my anxiety. She was very good with this and made the experience supportive and non-judgemental"
The Level 4 'Independent Advocacy Practice' is accredited by City & Guilds. It is a work based qualification which means you have to be acting as an advocate in order to successfully submit your work. Most people are in paid roles, but volunteer work counts just as well. If you are not sure, please get in touch for a conversation and we can support you to work out if this is right course for you.
Once you register you will receive:
-
A personal link to an online learning platform.
This has a huge amount of resources from pre-recorded lectures, e-learning, presentations, video and on line assessment. The reason we offer this is so you can dip in and dip out at your convenience and revisit topics and knowledge banks when you most need it.
-
An invitation to attend weekly highly effective live training events. These include highly interactive webinar/workshops and offer you more one to one support.
-
Masterclass Advocacy Support sessions
As part of your qualification package, you will receive a complimentary 6 month pass to our Black Belt Advocacy programme. This is a highly successful and popular CPD scheme which offers you access to advocacy experts, legal speakers and people with lived experience.
-
A named assessor who will support you through the assessment.
Your assessor will visit you at your place of work to complete an observation of
you in action and explore your case work, records and reports
