How can I acquire the assessment and counselling skills needed for the counsellor's account?
If you have a degree in psychology, you can apply for a fee-based counsellor's account. Alternatively, you can acquire the relevant skills in the CAS Laufbahndiagnostik und -beratung. The CAS is aimed at people who are already active in career counselling (e.g. career counsellors, coaches in vocational integration, outplacement counsellors, social workers, etc.) or are willing to bring in counselling cases from their private or professional environment.
How can I delete my account?
You can request the deletion of your account at any time by visiting My Account ⇨ Account Settings. You can confirm the deletion with a code that you will receive by e-mail. Once you have entered the code successfully, all data will be irrevocably deleted.
Profile / Questionaries
Why did my counsellor not receive my profile?
Ensure you entered the email of your counsellor correctly. Since occasionally the email might be classified as spam, please ask your counsellor to also check the spam folder.
Where can I see my profile?
To view your personal profile you have to sign in. Click on My Account ⇨ My Profiles. When completed a questionnaire, a link «My personal profile» appears leading you to your personal profile.
Why is the link to my profile no longer working?
Your profile's internet address (URL) is changing automatically after a certain time due to data protection policies. If you sign in, you will find the profile including the actual URL in the section My Account ⇨ My Profiles.
What information will be collected about myself?
We collect socio-demographic data when you complete the first questionnaire. You can adjust the data at any time. In addition, data relevant to operation and further development, such as account settings or usage behavior, are recorded.
All your data on Laufbahndiagnostik remains strictly confidential. Your data will be used for research purposes and for the development of the questionnaires and materials. However, the procedures do not allow any conclusions to be drawn regarding your identity.
No web or traffic analyses are carried out by third parties and we deliberately do not use external tracking services such as GoogleAnalytics.
Do I have access to my raw data?
