The person behind PSP
I previously worked as a civil servant in DSP and PublicJobs. I built PSP because I was frustrated trying to find practice tests that reflected Irish assessment formats.
PSP is independent of both organisations. I would love your honest feedback on what is useful and what needs improving.
