TESTIMONIALS

“The confidence and sense of self-worth that you have given my son with the beginnings of an insight into his own potential, and the real-life options that you have shown him are available to him should he choose to follow what he believes is his path, are absolutely invaluable. No parents could possibly have asked for more!”

Having worked alongside Lynn Crossland for over a decade, I felt huge confidence handing over the schools’ side of the career assessment practice to her. Her empathetic nature; attention to detail; and commitment to staying current on all things academic and tertiary, make her the absolute go-to person for all subject selection and career choice assessments and guidance.
