What kind of person am I?

What do I want to do with my life?

The basis of successful career change lies in finding satisfactory answers to these two crucial questions.

It starts with a detailed career appraisal – our “Taking Stock” module. This consists of an in-depth personal assessment covering your skills, motivations and interests, lasting 1 – 2 hours. We use a range of specially devised exercises for this purpose, together with a proven psychometric test. We then analyse the outcomes and give you a written report explaining our conclusions. Naturally, you’ll have a chance to discuss our findings with us.

The next step is to use these results to identify and examine career options that match your strengths, skills and interests, drawing on our databases of over 1800 different job types.

We will provide you with a rounded picture of what each career offers, so you can make an informed choice about the direction of your future career. We’ll help you to evaluate the options carefully and objectively, taking account of your skills and experience, the labour market situation, and the practical aspects of any further training.

We can advise you on qualifications, the courses to follow and – just as important – the best ways in which to pay for them.

However, you may be one of those many people who are keen to "think outside the box" when it comes to their future career path. You’ll be pleased to hear that we maintain a growing database of careers outside the ordinary – ones you may never have thought of. We’ve information on employment prospects, pay and training, and who to contact.

In addition, we can access hundreds of different ideas for self-employment, with more information than you thought possible. Plus start-up advice covering all aspects of starting and running your own business.
