From what age is it appropriate to do a vocational guidance ?

We recommend waiting until the age of 16 before doing a vocational guidance.

Students have a better understanding of themselves and have the maturity needed to think about their future.

The student’s commitment and motivation are vital for a successful vocational guidance. As the time for making the choice draws near, students feel directly concerned and will put in the energy needed to back up their thinking and concretely explore the suggested ideas.

Based on our experience, the best time to do this is in the penultimate year of school. The study choice is close enough to be concrete for the student, while still having plenty time to plan the admission process without stress.

Nevertheless, it is important to listen to the student; indeed, some pupils feel the need even beforehand to make plans and find a sense of purpose in their studies.

The review can also be carried out once the student has finished their schooling so that they can choose a new direction or decide on the path of their master’s degree.
