Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions a young person can make. At Career Analysts, we specialise in providing tailored careers advice for teenagers to help them discover the path that’s right for them.
Whether they’re deciding on A-levels, considering degrees, or exploring alternatives to university, our expert guidance ensures they make informed decisions that align with their interests, personality, and goals.
The teenage years are the foundation of future career success. Decisions about education and career paths made at this stage can shape a young person’s professional life.
Early career guidance helps teenagers identify their skills, interests, and goals, giving them the confidence to choose the right path.
Teenagers often feel overwhelmed when deciding on A-levels or whether to go to university. These decisions are easier when they know the career they’re aiming for.
By understanding their ideal career early, teenagers can make educational choices that align with their long-term goals.
Many teenagers struggle with questions like “What am I good at?” or “What should I do after school?” Without professional guidance, it’s easy to feel lost.
Our programme helps teenagers overcome these challenges by identifying their strengths, interests, and potential career opportunities.
Every teenager is unique, with their own set of strengths, interests, and personality traits. Our careers advice programme is designed to uncover these qualities through in-depth psychometric assessments and expert analysis. By understanding who they are, we can guide teenagers toward career paths that not only align with their abilities but also resonate with their passions and values. This ensures they embark on a professional journey where they can thrive, achieve success, and feel fulfilled in their work.
Reducing Stress Around A-Level, Degree, and Career Choices
Choosing the right A-levels, degree, or career path can feel overwhelming for both teenagers and their parents. These decisions often carry significant weight, shaping future opportunities and success. Our programme removes the guesswork from these critical choices by providing clear, evidence-based guidance tailored to each teenager’s unique profile. This eliminates the uncertainty and stress that often accompany career planning, replacing it with clarity and confidence. Parents also benefit, knowing their child is making well-informed decisions based on expert advice.
A clear career roadmap does more than just provide direction, it builds confidence. Teenagers who understand their strengths and have a plan for their future are better equipped to tackle challenges and seize opportunities. Our programme empowers young people to take ownership of their education and career journey, helping them develop a sense of purpose and self-assurance. With our guidance, teenagers feel prepared to navigate the complexities of today’s job market and pursue a career that’s meaningful, rewarding, and aligned with their long-term goals.
Our careers advice programme begins with an in-depth psychometric assessment. This scientifically designed test evaluates a teenager's personality, skills, interests, and values. It provides a detailed understanding of who they are and what careers suit them.
Following the assessment, one of our fully qualified Occupational Psychologists analyses the results to identify careers that align with the teenager's unique profile. This personalised approach ensures tailored advice.
In a one-on-one consultation, the Occupational Psychologist discusses the findings with the teenager. Together, they explore career options, education pathways, and next steps, ensuring the teenager feels confident about their future.
After the consultation, the teenager receives a detailed, written career report. This includes psychometric test results, analysis, and actionable recommendations for their education and career path.
Since 1965, Career Analysts has helped thousands of teenagers discover careers that suit their strengths and aspirations. Our decades of experience make us leaders in career guidance.

How Our Programme Helps Teenagers Make Informed Decisions
With our expert guidance, teenagers can make confident decisions about their education. By aligning their academic choices with their ideal career, they can avoid unnecessary stress and focus on achieving their goals.
Is University Not the Right Path for You?

The Parents and Guardians Extension: Involving You in the Process
Our Parents and Guardians Extension allows you to be part of the process. After the one-on-one consultation with the teenager, we hold a separate session with parents to explain the findings, address concerns, and discuss next steps for their child’s career.
Addressing Parental Concerns and Providing Clarity
Parents often worry about their teenager’s future but lack the tools to provide effective guidance. Our programme removes this stress by giving parents clear, actionable advice and ensuring their teenager is on the right path.

The other day I stumbled across my assessment feedback from when I visited Career Analysts in 1986! My mum passed away last year and she had kept the papers, which was typical of her organisational skills. I just wanted to let you know that 20 years on the assessment has mirrored reality. It made uncanny reading. I am a Solicitor working in the private sector, I also work as a part time Member of the Parole Board. Some of the comments made in 1986 are as apt today as they were when I was 16!
Hello,
I thought you might be interested to hear how your advice worked out for me as a 52 year old Engineer Surveyor of 9 years following a 26 year career in the RAF as a Mechanical Engineer.
I came to you in January 1986 as my father was at his wits end with me about a career and my lack of enthusiasm for studying at school. I saw Melvin R Stockdale and he wrote his recommendations in the Career Advice Report dated 24 Jan 1986.
To be honest, reading this now is slightly unnerving, although how accurate it was as advice is ridiculous!
The line to take away for me is:
“The two main fields which I suggest you look at carefully in order to (a) find out what they involve and (b) to test your own feelings about them: Surveying and Electrical/Mechanical Engineering.”
Like I said that is EXACTLY what I have done and am still doing!
I hope you find this story of your business being absolutely on the money as interesting/funny as I do, I wish my Dad was still here to share this with him. I think I did him proud in the end and all his worry and frustration paid off in the end!
The aspect that I found particularly useful was which career would suit me and what to study at university. If someone needed it, I would definitely recommend career analysts without a doubt.
I felt that everything I talked about with my consultant was relevant to me and how I want to work out my future at university and my career. The personality profiling and aptitude tests were particularly useful.
Felix has now made some good choices about his future and we thank you for the advice you have given him.
The consultant was really nice and asked good questions. I am extremely happy with her report. It is really detailed and I can see that time and effort was put into it.
I just wanted to say thank you to yourself, Sheridan and Leo for the help which you provided to Sophie. It enabled her to find a way through to the next stage and she has applied to study Liberal Arts at university as that does seem to be a good fit for her and something that she will very much enjoy. She’s had a couple of offers through and now just needs to get her grades! I don’t have Sheridan’s or Leo’s email addresses so please pass this message on to them. Thanks again. Michelle.
We approached Career Analysts seeking clarification about our younger son’s best direction in his post-16 education and future career direction. Understanding his strengths and likes we had to some extent done our own research, but we were still unsure as to his best direction. The testing, interview and research carried out before/after his interview all indicated that he was indeed heading in the right direction. The clarification from Mary, our son’s adviser, was most valuable to us – and indeed our son. Mary has obviously done a large amount of research in producing her written report. This is why, for example, she was able to suggest a possible course at an institution which we would never have known about or considered ourselves. The service offered by Career Analysts should be considered as an investment – in your own, or your child’s future. By all means do your own research which will undoubtedly prove beneficial. The testing, interpretation of results and pursuant opportunities regarding future education and employment opportunities is not something you will easily navigate as a result of your own efforts though. So, if you can afford, I’d say buy.
High quality service offered, both in terms of consultation and psychometric assessments used for guidance. Felt understood and cared about throughout the whole process, and they went above and beyond in accommodating any questions or concerns I had going in.
We were really pleased with the results of James’s session with your company. He is very happy in his job (as an electrician) and is doing really well. We have spoken very highly of the results and have given your details to lots of people!
We would like to book a similar session for our younger son Ben. He has just taken his GCSEs, so we would like to book an appointment for after he gets his results (some time in the week of 28th August).
Hi Leo, My consultation went very well and it definitely helped me clarify the area of undergraduate study that I want to go into. Thank you very much!
Career Analysts helped me to find out what sort of careers I am best suited for, all of the suggestions appealed to me and some of which I never would have considered without their help. My career consultant was very easy to talk with, I never felt under pressure and the consultation was an absolute joy to have done. The report was very interesting and informative and the Careers Analysts experience overall has helped me to know more about where my strengths lie and has given me some direction.
Belatedly thank you to you and your colleagues for your work with our son Max. It was very insightful for us as parents and we felt Max was very well held In the process. As and when he is ready, we may come back to you for more help, but he isn’t there as yet.
Thank you very much for providing such a useful analysis! It is really helping with decisions regarding a university course.
Thank you very much for the report and the support that you have given Alex, she found her interview and report immensely useful and uplifting, just what she needed.

You helped me to find all my options and to think of careers on a bigger scale. The aptitude profile was particularly useful – I thought it was fantastic.
The psychologist gave me realistic advice according to the type of person I am and my education and experience. I think she was very accurate. I feel I have a number and a range of choices, and I understand the areas that I would be successful in. The aptitude tests were quite enlightening.
Dear Leo,
Thank you very much for providing such a useful analysis! It is really helping with decisions regarding a university course.
Kind regards,
Zinnia
Dear Leo
Thank you very much for the report and the support that you have given Alex, she found her interview and report immensely useful and uplifting, just what she needed.
Many thanks

Just a quick note to thank you again for all your help and to let you know I have been offered a place at Aston Business School so coming to see you last summer was most definitely the catalyst I needed to improve my prospects.
By far the most valuable and revealing aspect of the whole experience was the personal consultancy. The occupational psychologist was simply masterful in her exploration and understanding my mind, far more so than I am myself. The careers that she was describing, and the way she was describing them, sounded exactly like the type of work I would like to be involved in later on in life.
Hi Leo and Mary, it was lovely meeting you both on Friday. Thank you for all your help and advice, it was a refreshing change to see William animated and motivated after our meeting. He knows he has a long way to go but he has our support. He visited the local college on Saturday as they had an open day and enquired about IT courses.
Dear Leo,
Good afternoon,
I found my career analysis report from the 7th of September 2000 (I was 17 at the time). I would like to thank Dr Alexis Hallam for such an accurate and insightful assessment. I am now working in wildlife conservation in Asia. Although not consciously, I am pretty sure the results of the Career Report helped build my confidence in pursuing my dreams and putting in the work needed to achieve them. Furthermore, Dr Hallam’s secondary assessment of training as a physical therapist has turned out to be extremely accurate as well, a field for which I have developed a significant interest over the past decade as I have taken up a number of new sports. Thank you again.
Best regards
Alexander
Hi Leo,
I’m not sure if this will reach you after all these years, but worth a try!
I just wanted to say how accurate Lily’s report and recommendation turned out to be. At the time, she was a little disappointed that the analysis didn’t support her career goals at that point. She was keen on law and the recommendations of a healthcare/medical path didn’t sit well. The healthcare university courses mentioned in the report were something she didn’t want to go for and she ended up graduating in political science from Birmingham (you did recommend PPE as a more general option).
Lily is now working as a patient flow manager in the NHS. She loves her job. The interesting thing is that she wasn’t consciously drawn to this as a result of her report. But, as it turns out, your recommendations of working in management and policy in a healthcare setting was spot on.
I came across her report after I recommended Career Analysts to a friend. I sent the report onto Lily as a reminder. She had forgotten the detail and was a bit spooked (in a good way) about how accurate it was.
We shouldn’t be surprised of course. However, I just wanted to say, after all this time, what a useful and insightful experience Career Analyst was. I will be definitely recommending you.
Regards.
Stephen Chapman
