Question 1

How long does the assessment take?

Accepted Answer

The assessment takes approximately 15–20 minutes to complete. It consists of a personality questionnaire and a career interest questionnaire combined into one assessment. If you're interrupted, your progress is saved — just use the same link again and it will take you back to where you left off.

Question 2

What age is this for?

Accepted Answer

The Prime Career Guide is designed for Grade 11–12 students and those taking a gap year after school who are exploring study and career options. It's also valuable for first-year students who are unsure about their current course. The assessment is suitable for teenagers aged 17–20.

Question 3

Can parents be involved?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We encourage families to explore the report together. The buyer (parent/guardian) receives the report via email, and it's designed to spark meaningful conversations about career paths and study choices.

Question 4

What exactly do I get in my report?

Accepted Answer

You receive a personalised Prime Career Guide covering your personality profile, strengths, growth areas, and matched career paths across four pathways: (1) Knowledge & Professional, (2) Creative & Digital, (3) People & Community, and (4) Hands-On & Technical. The report also includes a detailed breakdown of your career interest profile showing which types of work you are naturally drawn to.

Question 5

Any hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

None at all. This is a once-off payment for full access and a personalised report. R225 — single, once-off payment. Our mission is to make career guidance affordable and accessible for everyone.

Question 6

Is this based on a real framework?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Enneagram personality framework has been refined over decades and adoption is growing rapidly in corporates and coaching practices around the world. The O*NET (Occupational Information Network) was created by the US Department of Labor and is internationally accepted and actively used by career counsellors, universities, HR departments, and workforce development agencies.

Question 7

How do I receive the report?

Accepted Answer

On completion of the assessment, the report (PDF) can be downloaded directly from the completion page. It will also be emailed to both the participant and the buyer (parent/guardian).

Question 8

Can my child retake the assessment?

Accepted Answer

This is not recommended and goes against assessment best practice — the first, instinctive responses give the most accurate result. There's no need to rush — if your child needs a break, they can come back at any time using the same link provided to them. The system will take them back to where they left off.

Question 9

Is my child's data safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We only collect the information needed to generate the report. Your child's responses and personal details are processed securely and are never shared with third parties. You can read our full Privacy Policy at https://primecareer.co.za/privacy for more detail.

Question 10

What if my child is unsure about their answers?

Accepted Answer

That's completely normal. We encourage them to go with their gut and not overthink it. The assessment is designed with multiple questions addressing each element in the report, so no single answer determines the outcome.
