Explanation:
Best attempt without more context - at least some information on what type of document we're dealing with would have been helpful.

neutral  Karen Stokes: In that case wouldn't the 'conseillé' be singular to agree with 'nombre'? / Thanks for the response, Matthew - have a good day.

  -> It certainly would: that'll teach me to translate what I think I've read rather than the actual words!!! Though as Liz says, it could be a mistake. With the extra context, however, this seems unlikely. Bon courage à tous! ;)
agree  liz cencetti (X): @ Karen, should be, but it's a common mistake in French. I prefer this version.
9 mins
disagree  philgoddard: I agree with Karen - also, wouldn't this be "nombre conseillé d'apprenants? "
16 mins
disagree  Chris Hall: Agree with Phil.

Explanation:
If the grammar is corrrect this is the clear meaning.
Advised could stand for "avisé"s which is not the way I understand the French term.

tutored mentioned above is also possible.
But more context is needed.
