frequently asked questions

We initially looked carefully at bandings for pricing and also a single price for any school. We found that this approach disadvantaged smaller schools and those towards the lower end of the banding sizes. While a banding of 100-200 may be cheaper for the 200 school, It doubles the price for the 100 school. ​ When considering the ever-present budget constraints and the desire to ensure all students are able to access quality resources to support their career journey, the conclusion we came to was for us to spend a little more time with invoicing to generate equity in pricing. Universities/TAFEs and Senior Colleges are a little different to P-12 schools so speak to us about pricing.

The Aspirations questionnaire was first published in July 2014 and is a revision of an earlier questionnaire. The model is essentially from the work of Ann Roe (1950's American psychologist) but like most modern questionnaires has evolved based on incorporating influences from multiple career researchers. There are two versions of Aspirations; one designed for students from Year 9 through to adults, and another simpler and shorter version is provided to students in Years 7 and 8. The questionnaire is partially adaptive, meaning that most students take a unique pathway through the question set, with the question routing taking into account their previous answers. This allows for greater depth and more individually explicit results.
