The credit-based training approach encourages students' initiative and creativity by placing them at the center of the teaching and learning process. Academic advisers then directly impact students' training and job choices, as well as their progress in learning. In order to lay a solid scientific foundation for implementing policies for this team, this study identifies and examines managers' and instructors' perspectives on the role of academic advisors based on the findings of a survey conducted at Thu Dau University. The findings show that managers and academic advisors recognize the crucial role academic advisors play as a link between educational institutions, students, and the job market. This team also serves as a representative of leaders when mentoring and counseling students on matters pertaining to scientific research, management, training plans, and teaching strategies.
