Guidance and counseling is a professional activity that is targeted at helping students choose a path of progress in life that is best suited for them based on their present academic abilities.

The software development methodology that will be adapted to develop the system is the spiral model and the programming language used is visual basic 6.0 and the database used is Microsoft Access.
