FAQs
My child is in Leaving Cert and doesn’t know which subjects to choose. Can you help?
Absolutely. Not knowing which subjects to choose for the Leaving Cert is a very common concern, and it can feel like a huge, often overwhelming decision. Our method is designed to bring clarity: we start by gaining a deep understanding of your child’s unique interests, strengths, and aptitudes to identify potential career paths. From there, we work backwards to determine the relevant college courses and, subsequently, the specific Leaving Cert subjects required.
Crucially, we always keep in mind the importance of a balanced workload and the value of playing to your child’s natural strengths.
How do you help students choose between college, apprenticeships, and other pathways?
We take a comprehensive approach to help students choose the path that’s right for them. Our guidance goes beyond academic results, we explore their interests, personality, and lifestyle to ensure the choice is a true fit.
We’ll look at all relevant options in Ireland from universities and PLCs to apprenticeships and direct-entry jobs providing in-depth insights into each route, so your child can make an informed decision with confidence.
What is the CAO process, and how can you support us through it?
The CAO (Central Applications Office) is the central application system for undergraduate courses in Irish Higher Education Institutions. It can seem like a complex process, but we’re here to demystify it for you. We provide support by explaining how the system works, helping your child strategically order their course choices, clarifying entry requirements, and where appropriate assisting with the practical steps of filling in the CAO form, reducing stress for the whole family.
Is this guidance just for students, or are parents and guardians involved as well?
This guidance is designed to support both students and their parents or guardians. While the core sessions are held with the student, we actively encourage parental involvement especially in the later stages of the process.
We warmly invite parents or guardians to join at the end of the initial consultation for a summary of our findings and recommended next steps. We’re also here to answer any questions you may have throughout.
Our aim is to ensure the whole family feels supported, informed, and confident about the student’s future.
How does your guidance differ from what my child receives at school?
School career guidance counsellors do vital work, but they often face time and resource constraints due to large student numbers. Our guidance offers a more individualised and in-depth approach.
We dedicate focused, one-to-one time to your child’s unique journey conducting comprehensive assessments and providing personalised insights. Our aim is to complement and deepen the advice they receive at school, ensuring they leave with a truly bespoke plan that aligns with their interests, strengths, and aspirations.
My child is feeling very stressed about their future. How can you help with that?
It’s completely normal for students to feel stressed about their future especially during the Leaving Cert cycle. Our guidance is designed to alleviate that stress by providing clarity and direction.
We offer a structured, supportive process that helps your child understand their options, identify their strengths, and set clear, achievable goals. By empowering them with knowledge and a personalised plan, we help them feel more in control and confident about the path ahead.
