Test User Occupational Personality Course

Formerly BPS Level B (Intermediate) the EFPA (European Federation of Psychological Associations) Test User Occupational Personality Certificate provides access to personality assessments and is a two day course for those who are already in possession of the Test User Occupational Ability Certificate (formerly BPS Level A).

This certificate is gained by demonstrating competence in the use of an initial instrument (the highly regarded 15FQ+) and in part requires assessing real people in real work settings. This aspect of competence development is not possible in a training course environment. Thus delegates complete their training through a supported assessment project after the course. The learning outcomes of this project are consolidated through a follow up day. The follow up day requirement can, however, be optionally met through a Webinar Follow Up Session or attendance at a face to face follow up day.

The qualification gained is detailed below.

Who Is The Course For?

Psytech have trained thousands of people to help them gain their BPS Certificates of Competence in Occupational Testing. This course is designed for anyone already in possession of their Test User Occupational Ability, formerly BPS Level A, in any field, wishing to use personality measures in their business or work place. We regularly train human resource professionals, line managers, education councillors, career councillors, academic staff and psychologists who wish to use tests to aid selection, development, guidance, coaching and counselling to name just a few of the applications of occupational testing.

The Course Objectives

  • To provide an in-depth grounding in the theory and practice of personality testing.
  • To enable delegates to competently administer, score and feedback results of personality assessments.
  • To enable delegates to gain access to the widest range of tests of personality.
  • To equip delegates with the knowledge required to critically evaluate psychometric tests for specific applications.
  • To enable delegates to successfully implement objective assessment methods for selection, development, counselling and guidance.
  • To provide a thorough and objective overview of the assessment market.
  • To assess the role of computers in assessment.
  • To enable delegates to qualify for the Occupational Testing: Test User Personality certificate of competence and to be included in the BPS Register of Qualified Test users (RQTU).

Block Bookings

Block booking is a method of reserving multiple training places at a substantial cost saving. You only need decide how many places you or your company requires, and confirm them by a single invoice paid before commencement of the first delegate’s training. Once you have paid for a block booking you have complete flexibility of when you send delegates for training; they can all attend one course (subject to availability) or can be spread across any of our future courses to suit your staff requirements. We do note that the option of block booking is very popular with many clients.

Not only does it have commercial advantages both in terms of price and flexibility, but delegates also find they benefit from learning with others from a diverse range of professional backgrounds and benefit from the sharing of individual experiences.

In-House Training

If you have 6 or more colleagues who need to be trained, it may be cost-effective to organise a course at a time and venue of your choice. If the training is for one organisation, this provides the added benefit that the training can be focused on your specific assessment requirements. Contact Psytech to discuss your training requirements.
