Parent of a 6th Year Student
"I honestly can't say enough good things about Course Compass. My daughter absolutely loved the test from start to finish. She found it really engaging, easy to follow, and genuinely enjoyable, which is saying a lot for anything related to the Leaving Cert. The questions really made her think about herself, her strengths, and what she would genuinely enjoy doing in the future, rather than picking a course based on points or pressure. We did come across a small issue with the platform, but what really stood out to me was the customer service. Stephen was amazing. He responded quickly, explained everything clearly, and made sure the issue was sorted without any stress. It genuinely felt like he cared about the student and the outcome, not just the product. As a parent, that meant a lot. The guidance provided through the test gave my daughter real clarity and confidence, and it took a huge amount of anxiety out of the CAO process for both of us. I would recommend Course Compass to any parent with a 6th Year who feels unsure, overwhelmed, or stuck. It is an incredible resource and one I wish existed years ago."

"The tests were excellent. It's very detailed. My daughter loved it. What she was looking at came up as her top course. Fantastic site. It's absolutely worth the money."

"I did the test because I was struggling filling out my CAO. When I did the test the courses I got recommended really opened my eyes to some courses I did not know existed, but it also solidified my number one choice I was looking at."
6th Year Student
"I genuinely didn't realise how lost I was until I did the Course Compass test. It broke everything down in a way that actually made sense and gave me a clear direction for the first time. I finally feel confident filling out my CAO and I'm just hoping I get the points now."
6th Year Student
"This should honestly be given to every 6th Year. Course Compass helped me narrow down what I actually suit instead of what everyone else was telling me to do. It gave me real clarity and took a lot of stress off me going into the Leaving Cert."
6th Year Student
"I always felt pressure to pick a 'safe' course, but this test showed me options I never would have considered and explained why they suited me. It made me excited about college instead of anxious. I couldn't recommend it enough."
6th Year Student
"Before doing Course Compass, my CAO choices were basically guesses. The test made me realise what I'm actually good at and what kind of career I'd enjoy long-term. I feel way more confident now and I'm hoping the points go my way."
6th Year Student
"What I liked most was that it wasn't generic advice. The recommendations felt genuinely personalised and backed by reasons. It gave me a strong idea of what I want to do and removed a lot of doubt I had about my choices."
Parent
"My son thought the test was very good and found it extremely helpful. It made picking his CAO courses much easier and gave him a clear direction instead of guessing. From my point of view, it saved me at least €300 on private career guidance, and the results were just as good, if not better."
Parent
"I was referred to Course Compass by a friend and, to be honest, I was shocked by the price at first. I actually thought it might be poor quality, but I decided to give it a go for my son because he genuinely had no idea what he wanted to do. I could not have been more wrong. The test was incredibly detailed and it opened his eyes to courses he did not even know existed. It narrowed everything down to two or three strong options that genuinely suit him, and for the first time he feels confident about his choices. One of the courses that came up was Speech and Language Therapy in UCC, something he had never considered before. We now honestly think that is what he will end up doing if he gets the points. Course Compass made a massive difference for our family and I would highly recommend it."
