This is what teachers think

“Even though the test only takes a few minutes and makes do with a small amount of questions, the results (assessments) are very relevant. The strength profile is great to work with in depth and can serve as a basis to coach students.”

“I was really excited – and so were my students. Thank you for letting us use the programme free of charge.”

“Students are getting feedback on themselves and on finding a career path – in a positive way and from an outside source.”
