You would have to say 'a piece of advice' not just 'an advice'.

In British english "Advice" is the noun and "Advise" is the verb.

eg. Advice

>I don't need any advice from you, Naresh.
>The advice that Shyam gave Vidya was useless.

eg. Advise

> The teacher advised the students to take the day off.

>Kannan advised me to go to Mumbai and meet the client.
