  APM - academic portfolio management  
  Portal for all research results, school progression, academic and guidance support  
 

APM is an interactive on line facility for students and school staff to manage all aspects of academic progress and preparation for post school aspirations.
It provides students with a tool to access, store and comment on essential sources of
information on further education and occupations in the countries of their choice.

  Prospero - learning and study styles  
  Students who do not use adequate learning and study methods have more
difficulties reaching their goals, in spite of their academic potential
 
 

Prospero is an online survey designed to help students identify their personal learning and study styles in order to increase grades and to meet their academic potential. The report includes many ideas to study more effectively and with a higher efficiency.

A student with proper study skills brings peace of mind to everyone.

 
       
  InterQuest/EuroQuest - psychometric testing  
  Students who have a greater sense of direction are more determined to do
well in school
 
 

Step One, in association with Cambridge Occupational Analysts, has devised a highly
validated psychometric assessment. Simple to use, yet outstandingly informative and
reliable, this programme is an excellent tool for students who are in the process of
making well-considered subject choices with respect to their future.
InterQuest and its European version EuroQuest clearly identify students’ academic
strengths and potential and increase their awareness of a range of different college or
university approaches and various vocational paths.
The report will encourage students to challenge themselves, to identify targets and to
make an action plan in order to become successful at school and in life.
In addition, the test will give insights in students’ test techniques and important personal
preferences.

Confidence in a realistic future is a reassurance for everybody

 
       
  MindWise - emotional intelligence  
  Students who experience emotional difficulties perform less well than
students who have a good level of emotional intelligence
 
 

Many people with high ability and aptitude levels sometimes do not perform as well as
they could, due to an aspect of their personal attitude or emotional intelligence.
MindWise is an online survey that will help students to understand themselves and to
work on areas that require attention in order to cope better with life in general.

Students with a good level of emotional intelligence are more receptive to learn

 
         
  GO - video career and educational guidance
video conferencing
 
  Your students can choose where and when you want to communicate in real time , all at the click of the mouse, via GO  
 

The same high quality, professional educational and careers guidance you expect from Step One - Students take the psychometric test on-line as usual.
However now we have partnered with World Class Careers to use the latest Audio/Visual technology together with a team of qualified career guidance advisors, ready to discuss the results of the report and the student’s future choices, all on-line in the comfort of the student’s home or at school and in total confidence.

 
         
  Centigrade - interest questionnaire  
  Students who know where they want to go after school can start preparing
themselves for their next step at an early stage
 
 

Centigrade is an online interest questionnaire that narrows down students’
educational options after they graduate from school. It has been devised by Cambridge
Occupational Analysts.
The report will analyze the students’ occupational interests and shows a whole range of
UK universities that would suit him or her.

A proper university match relieves everybody’s stress

 
         
  Time Out - structured gap experiences  
  Students who structure their gap year will get the most out of it  
 

Time Out is an online questionnaire that will make students aware of personal skills that
they could develop during a year off.
The report will suggest many activities that the student could undertake and more than
100 websites of organisations.

A sound plan for a gap year is a relief for all

 
         
  En Route - university planner  
  Students who are aware of what will be important for them when they select their college or university will make well-considered choices  
 

With a simple password, students can download En Route from our website.
It will help them to identify and combine abilities, skills and personal preferences to find
a college or university that matches their expectations.

A university that matches one’s needs makes all the difference

 
         
  Spotlight - matching career options with personality  
  Identifying strengths, work environment, motivators and stressors is
invaluable when deciding on career choices
 
 

Towards the end of school, a student’s personality will appear even more clearly because
in general the influence of other people will have less impact.
Many people have no idea what kind of career would suit them and therefore they want
to have a better insight in themselves before making important decisions.
This colour-profiling questionnaire will explain what kind of work would inspire them.
Spotlight further reveals how somebody would function in a work environment and fit
in a team.

People whose personality matches their job, experience substantial satisfaction

 
         
  Morrisby - psychometric profile    
 

What career would I be good at? What would I enjoy ?

 
 

A large number of Careers Guidance Services and Companies and hundreds of schools use the Morrisby Profile as an important part of their student and adult guidance programmes.

The system is a combination of a specially designed Questionnaire about your interests, the exams you are taking or have taken, and the Morrisby Profile. The Morrisby Profile is a series of tests or assessments (sometimes called a Test Battery) which together provide valuable information on your abilities and the sort of work setting that would suit you best.

 
         
  Pioneer - interest questionnaire  
  Selecting your subjects can already affect your future university course choices  
 

Students who do not know which subjects to select to support potential future choices can undertake this interest questionnaire online as of 2009. The results will give them direction with respect to future interests.

Students who are aware of their interests will not close any doors too early.
