How it works
Try a career instead of guessing
A try-out is a short online course, a day in a professional’s shoes and an honest verdict for yourself. No grades, no rankings, no pressure.
The path of one try-out
Sign up
One minute and free. Your parents need to know and agree — you confirm that with a tick.
Choose a field
11 fields to pick from. Not sure where to start? Take the 5-minute quiz — it suggests 5 try-outs.
Take the course
Videos, short summaries, flashcards and tasks. See what the job is really like — not the movie version.
Live a day in the role
A simulated working day: make a professional’s decisions and see where they lead.
Get a certificate and a badge
For every try-out you finish. No rankings or competition: you only compare yourself with yesterday’s you.
Be honest with yourself
“Interesting”, “Not really” or “Not for me”. Every answer is right — what matters is that it’s yours.
Build “My path”
Your verdicts from all try-outs add up to a picture: what pulls you in and what you can safely set aside.
“Not for me” is a result too
- Interesting
- Not really
- Not for me
Finding out a career isn’t for you after a week of trying beats finding out after four years of study. Every “not for me” narrows the search and brings you closer to what’s truly yours. That’s why we never treat it as failure.

FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. Every try-out, certificate and the quiz are free — you just need an account.
How long does one try-out take?
A course is a handful of short materials. Most people finish a try-out over a few evenings, but there’s no rush.
What if I don’t like it?
Nothing bad happens. Choose “Not for me” and move on to another try-out. That’s a useful result too.
What does the certificate give me?
It confirms you finished the try-out, and you can add it to your portfolio. It isn’t a diploma or a qualification.
Who can see my verdicts?
Only you. We only see anonymous statistics — no name, email or school.
Can I take several try-outs at once?
Yes. Open as many as you like — progress is saved separately for each.
