British Psychological Society & European Federation of Psychological Associations: Level 1 & 2 Certification Four-day Intensive Course

The BPS EFPA Occupational Test User: Ability & Personality Programme will provide you with experiential and reflective practice as well as theoretical understanding of occupational and ability testing in the workplace.

This fast-paced course will qualify you in 'Level 2 Test User in Ability and Personality' previously known as "Level A and B" in just 4 days (with 3 hours' pre-course reading). It will provide you with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to conduct psychometric tests fairly and effectively in your organization. Throughout the course you will be introduced to the history of testing, statistical calculations and issues associated with supervising tests, dealing with candidates and giving feedback.

PARTICIPANTS

This course is designed for human resource managers, business partners, professionals, executive coaches, psychologists, psychometrician and consultants who would like to use assessments in their organization, practice delivering feedback sessions, create development plans, gain the qualification and be recognized as a Test User by BPS and EFPA.

How it works: Our Approach

The course is offered in various modes: 4-day taught, online or via blended learning (a mix of taught and online sessions).

There will be a range of exercises that you will need to complete before your competence can be affirmed. In view of this, once you have enrolled on the programme you will be expected to complete a combination of assignments either pre-course, in-class and after class, as homework. It is important that you manage the completion and submission of these so as to avoid delays with receiving your qualification.

What’s in it for you?

You will benefit from a real opportunity to acquire and refine the skills that are critical for enjoying the maximum value from the psychometric assessments you apply. The emphasis of the programs is on developing best-practice techniques rather than hard theory and focuses on modern, sophisticated ability and personality assessment tools and their application to business challenges.
