Decide who to ask for help

Everyone needs a bit of help with decision-making. Who will you ask for help? Use our checklist to help you decide.

  1. Should you ask family and friends for advice?
  2. Do you know enough about the learning activities, workload and assessment in the options that interest you?
  3. Are you having trouble deciding what to do?
  4. Do you know who can help you if you need extra support?
