How long it takes
Around 5–10 minutes for the Initial Pathway Assessment. There is no timer — your answers are saved as you go, so you can stop and come back whenever you like.
What's free
The Initial Pathway Assessment is free. The Full Pathway Assessment is also free after you create an account — including your Pathway Report.
No payment required.
Your information matters
Your answers help us build your Pathway Profile — a structured picture of your background, experience and goals. You will only be asked for documents when they become relevant.
During the Initial Pathway Assessment your answers stay on your own device. When you create your free account they move across with you — you never start again, and you stay in control of what you share.
This isn't a government form and it isn't a test. There are no wrong answers — the more honest the picture, the more useful your profile.
