Skills assessment

Find out about careers that might be right for you by taking a skills assessment

There are no right or wrong answers when doing a skills assessment. It’s a way to understand yourself better and help you think about your next step. 

You could take a skills assessment to help you:

  • find out what motivates you 
  • work out careers that do not interest you 
  • see what you can do with the skills you have 

Discover your skills and careers assessment

Answer questions about things you like to do or are good at. You’ll see what motivates you based on your answers and get career suggestions to compare.

This assessment:

  • contains 40 multiple-choice questions
  • takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete – it may take longer with a screen reader
  • gives you a reference code so you can come back later  

You might want to speak about your results with a careers adviser as they will know about local opportunities.
