Coaching session
A coaching session is 40 minutes on Google Meet with a Shiftrade coach who has read your results before you arrive, so you do not spend the time explaining them. You talk through what the assessment found and what you want to do about it. Afterwards the coach sends you a written note with what you agreed.
Two kinds of coach
A career coach is the usual choice. They are certified in career development and work across every trade rather than one, so they are who you want for working out what you actually want to do, what you realistically can do, and which direction to take. They are generally easy to book.
A trade specialist works in one of the trades Shiftrade covers. They are who you want once you have a specific trade in mind and detailed questions about the work itself. Because they are still working in that trade, they can take longer to book.
Both are trained in the Shiftrade method and both cost the same. If you are not sure which you need, book a career coach: they can point you to a specialist.
We couldn't find any good option for you. Do you want to start over the assessment and reconsider your priorities to see if more career tracks meet your preferences?
