What students and parents actually say about the CAO Course Match Test.

“I honestly wasn't sure what I wanted to do after the Leaving Cert, so I gave CourseCompass a go. The recommendations were actually a lot more specific than I expected and gave me a few courses I hadn't really considered before. It was useful having everything explained rather than just getting a list of courses.”

“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 had a rough idea of the areas I was interested in but had no idea which actual courses suited me. CourseCompass helped connect the different things I was interested in with real courses. I came away with a much clearer idea of what I should be looking into.”

“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.”

“As a parent, it can be difficult to know how much to get involved when your child is choosing their CAO courses. CourseCompass gave us something useful to discuss together and helped explain why certain courses might suit them. It was a good starting point for having that conversation.”

“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.”

“Choosing a college course can be quite overwhelming, especially when there are so many options. I found the CourseCompass results helpful because they gave my son a clearer direction without making the decision for him. It was useful having something personalised to work from.”
