Personal guidance

Book a consultation with March Ahead Academy.

Our coaching is one-on-one, so preparation can be customised to your individual needs and paced to suit your learning. Bring your questions about career routes, written examinations or SSB, and we’ll discuss your goals, current preparation and areas where you need support.

Online coaching available. In-person visits are by prior appointment only.

An enquiry does not reserve an appointment. Confirm availability, format, duration and any applicable fee with the Academy before booking.

Your starting point, not a fixed package

An SSB Preparation Consultation helps clarify your priorities and whether individual mentoring is suitable. Psychology exercises and an Individual Preparation Review can form part of coaching; they are not an official assessment or selection forecast.

Compare consultation, preparation review and mentoring

What would you like to discuss?

  • Choosing what to explore after school or graduation.
  • Understanding the requirements in an official entry notification.
  • Planning academic preparation and a realistic routine.
  • Preparing for SSB discussions, psychological exercises or a personal interview.

Aspirants and parents can enquire. Official recruitment authorities determine eligibility and selection; consultation helps you understand and prepare for the process.

Prepare for a useful conversation

  1. Note your education stage, interests and the entry you are considering.
  2. Write your three main questions and what you have already tried.
  3. Have the relevant official notice or your own practice notes available.
  4. Ask which preparation priorities to address next and how to review progress.

For the first enquiry, a brief description is enough. Keep identity documents and sensitive personal records out of your initial message.
