At Glasgow Central CAB we have an excellent team of staff, both generalist and specialist advisers who are dedicated to providing advice and assistance to resolve issues for clients.
Advisers come from a wide age range and from diverse cultural, social and educational backgrounds. They bring many different talents, life skills and experiences to the benefit of clients.
All sorts of people volunteer as CAB advisers and provide free, confidential, independent and impartial advice. Here are some of the things CAB advisers have in common. CAB advisers :
Before you can advise you have to complete a systematic and comprehensive training programme. Our basic requirement is that trainees have a reasonable level of numeracy, reading, writing and verbal skills.
Once you have completed your basic training and competences you can start to see clients on your own to provide generalist advice. After a period that is designed to develop your skills, you may wish to specialise. We will work together to develop your skills and abilities in a specific area, where possible.
