our methodology
We use the SMART Programme -Start-Measure-Analyse-Report-Transform- to go through a number of stages of evaluation, discussion and assessment, usually comprising 2 sessions, each lasting in the region of 1.5 - 2 hours. The sessions are online with additional work and assessments taking place offline as required. A PC/laptop and some personal space, free of interruptions, is the only requirement for the student to have available.
We generally look for the student to complete a brief Personal File and Parental Consent Form to use Zoom / Teams or a similar platform in advance, including their most recent examination results. When we receive the completed forms, Session 1 is arranged to further explain the process along with carrying out the early stages of the assessment process. Following further analyses and a psychometric assessment carried out offline, a second session is arranged to go through the results and findings and define the optimum career pathway for the student prior to entering third-level education and beyond.
Following completion of Session 2, a short summary report is provided of the results and analyses that have been carried out for future reference and to act as a useful reminder of the main findings of the discussions in the area that have taken place.
