How to Fill Out the CAO Form Correctly | Part 2
Q: And do you have to wait until you get offered a course to apply for SUSI?
No. Eligible students can apply when SUSI opens, usually around April or May, and should apply promptly because processing takes time. They must reapply each year.
How to Fill Out the CAO Form Correctly | Part 2
Q: What role can a parent play in all of this?
Parents or guardians can practise the application with students, check personal details, help with HEAR financial information and paperwork, and keep track of deadlines.
How to Pick Your CAO Course (When You Don’t Know What You Want) | Part 1
Q: Where does somebody start?
Egan recommends using an interest test and school aptitude results, reflecting on values and preferred work conditions, identifying subjects and activities they enjoy, and researching relevant career sectors and courses.
How to Pick Your CAO Course (When You Don’t Know What You Want) | Part 1
Q: Is it normal not to know what you want to do?

Sky Sports’ Eoin Morgan Interviews His Sister: Why I Started Decoded
Q: Now, you'll have so many listeners, both students and parents, that will be in classrooms where they're in the wrong subject or feel like they are and feel like it has no relevance.
Her advice is that subjects in school are different from college and life; stay open, pursue a broad degree, and be willing to explore because there could be a path you hadn't considered that makes sense later.
