Abstract: The orientation field has changed its approach thanks to the use of new technologies hence the emergence of the E-orientation systems which consists in orienting and assisting students online in their choice of future training. .The purpose of this study is to generate an acceptance model prediction's of the e-orientation platform that can be used during the conceptual design of the future E-orientation platforms. As theoretical model we have used an extended version of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)[1]-[2]-[4]. Our database has been founded via the collected data of the survey instrument that was developed using validated items from the theoretical constructs of the extended TAM model for E-orientation platforms. The platforms offer an adequate environment for students to self orienting themselves, seek information and validate their skills. Therefore, E-orientation platforms do not aims for short-term support but on the contrary long-term academic. For a good orientation of the students we need to know the user’s profile, in other words all the necessary information about the student (Individual factors [2], Social factors[2], Perceived usefulness[3], Perceived ease of use[3], Perceived risk [4], Perceived information quality [4]). A comparison between the five most used platforms according to the user profile was made using our extended TAM model.
