Terms of service

The plain-English rules for using PublicServicePathway. By creating an account you agree to these.

Last updated: 3 July 2026. Version 2026-07-03.

What the service is

PublicServicePathway provides practice material for Irish public-service assessments: timed numerical and verbal reasoning, ranked-answer situational judgement tests mapped to the 2024 Capability Framework, and related preparation tools. It is a study aid. It is not the real test.

Independence

PublicServicePathway is an independent practice resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to publicjobs.ie or the Public Appointments Service. Nothing here is official material and nothing here comes from the real assessments.

Your account

  • One account is for one person. Don't share your login.
  • Don't scrape, bulk-copy, republish or resell the question bank. The questions are original work and copying them is the one thing that would kill this service for everyone.
  • We may suspend or close accounts that abuse the service, share logins, or attempt to copy the bank. Where practical we will warn you first.
  • Keep your login details safe. You are responsible for activity on your account.

Subscriptions and payment

  • Paid access costs €39 per month or €149 per year, billed through Stripe.
  • Subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel. Cancel anytime from your account page - no email required, no phone call.
  • When you cancel, your access runs to the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not claw back time you paid for.
  • Prices may change; if they do, existing subscribers are told in advance and any change applies from the next renewal, never mid-period.

Refunds

See the refund policy. Short version: full refund within 14 days if you have not substantially used the paid bank.

No guarantee of results

Practice makes the format familiar; it cannot make the outcome certain. We do not guarantee that using this service will get you a pass, a place on a panel, or a job. Our questions are original practice material built to match the public format and timing of the assessments. They are not real exam papers and no one here has access to real exam papers.

Availability and liability

We work to keep the service up, especially around live competition windows, but we cannot promise zero downtime. To the extent Irish law allows, our liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of Ireland and the Irish courts have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer in the EU you also keep any protections your local consumer law gives you.
