Psychometric and standardized evaluations.
Career guidance and subject choice evaluations.
Deciding on a career path is one of the most important decisions a person will make in life. Yet, within our South African education system, there is very little vocational career guidance for high school learners when it comes to choosing subjects or exiting high school and deciding on a tertiary qualification to pursue. This lack of insight often leads youth to pursue careers that are not best suited to their strengths and personal attributes. This potentially results in low morale, disinterest, and ultimately, a demotivated workforce.
Brainwave offers standardized psychometric career guidance evaluations that measures a learner’s aptitude, personality type, thinking style profile, values, and interests. The combination of these tests indicates which career fields are most suitable for the learner to pursue (based on his/her unique traits and characteristics). The outcomes of this assists the learner to find guidance regarding a suitable career path to follow (based on an educated and informed decision). For Grade 9 learners, relevant subjects will be recommended for Grade 10-12.

School readiness evaluations.
The term ‘school ready’ means that a child has reached all the developmental milestones needed to cope and thrive within a formalized schooling environment. Preparing for Grade 1 includes being prepared on a social, emotional, perceptual, and cognitive level. In addition, a child should have a positive self-image and the self-confidence to navigate within a structured schooling environment.
When a child hasn’t properly developed all the above-mentioned skills and is enrolled for Grade 1, it can have far-reaching negative consequences for his/her educational development. School readiness evaluations help to determine whether a child has reached all necessary milestones and, thus, if they are ready to begin the journey within a formalized schooling system. If a child is not in school ready, appropriate interventions will be recommended as part of the evaluation process.

Concession evaluations.
The term ‘barrier to learning’ refers to those learners that are not able to perform to their true potential within an educational environment. A learning difficulty often refers to learners who struggle with one or more area of learning, regardless of aptitude or a specific level of intelligence. While many learners are able to compensate for this in the early grades, these difficulties become more apparent as a learner gets older and his/her workload increases. This often results in poor academic performance (despite the potential to improve).
Some areas that are potentially affected include reading, writing, auditory processing, visual perceptual ability, severe anxiety, etc. The test results would help to identify what the problem is, as well as the specific interventions that would be best in addressing these issues.
