The trade you'd actually thrive in might not be the one you've heard of.
A psychometric assessment that matches your working style and strengths against every SOLAS-registered apprenticeship in Ireland — including the ones feeding Raheen's medtech and biopharma plants, not just the trades everyone's already heard of.
Most students can only name three or four apprenticeships
Limerick's apprenticeship options run wider than construction and motor trades. Raheen Business Park alone is one of the country's biggest medtech and biopharma manufacturing clusters, and manufacturing apprenticeships are a real, growing route into it — most Leaving Cert students simply haven't seen the full list.
The Apprenticeship Match Test does that work properly: a structured trait profile, scored against the full national register, so the shortlist you get back is based on genuine fit rather than which trade happened to come up in conversation.
Three steps to your apprenticeship shortlist
Build your trait profile
A structured assessment across 12 traits — how you work, solve problems and prefer to learn — building a radar-chart profile rather than a simple yes/no quiz.
Get matched nationwide
Your profile is scored against every SOLAS-registered apprenticeship in the country, not just the handful most students have heard of.

These are genuine testimonials from CourseCompass users — see the full reviews page for more.
“I found the test really easy to get through and it didn't feel like I was just answering the same question over and over. What I liked most was seeing why certain courses were recommended for me. It gave me a much better starting point for researching my CAO choices.”
“I liked that CourseCompass looked beyond just CAO points. The questions covered interests, preferences and other areas that helped build a more complete picture. It gave my daughter some options to research that we probably wouldn't have thought about ourselves.”
“I went into the test without really knowing what I wanted to do. The results gave me a few different options and, more importantly, made me think about what I actually enjoy and what I could see myself doing. It definitely made researching my CAO choices easier.”
