At the end, these career selections link to accurate, up to date information about each one, such as training or education required and job outlook.
Finally, the online test includes an exclusive PDF download listing of all the careers displayed in the Career Key test. This allows the Self-Employment Key user to explore more matching career options, beyond those with 10% or more self-employed.
Using a science-based decision making process, the Self-Employment Key test and self-help articles help people make a more confident decision about whether to become self-employed. The test costs $9.95 per test taking. With this recent update, there are many new group administration features along with a group discount for purchasing more than five test takings.
