Testimonials

James helped me to fill in an application form for a job I was applying for, and made me think about the job application process in a new way, as well as giving me great feedback on what I'd already done. It was great to meet someone who could facilitate me so easily, and so quickly within a couple of days of 1st contact to the deadline I'd to have the form sent in for. Thanks James!

James helped my daughter apply to a course in Scotland. She was interested in a specific course and he gave her great advise for writing a personal statement and helped her with her application. She has started in Scotland this year and loves her course. James was great and made the process so easy.

My daughter was confused and struggling with course choices etc. for a while. After her meeting with James she was palpably relieved. James gave her a greater understanding of all things CAO related, thus taking a weight off of her mind & mine. I would recommend James to my friends and acquaintances.

James gave my son excellent advice and direction. I believe that many of his fears have been alleviated after his time with James. He certainly has a clearer picture of where he should be heading.

James was absolutely fantastic with our son - advising him on the options available to him after his Junior Certificate. James was very honest and gave him crucial information for his subject selection for the Leaving Certificate. John my son was absolutely delighted when he came out from the meeting.
