Who Is The Course For?

Psytech have trained thousands of people to help them gain their BPS Certificates of Competence in Occupational Testing (now called the EFPA Test User Certificates). This course is designed for anyone in any field wishing to use ability, aptitude and vocational interest 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 and counselling.

The Course Objectives

• To provide an in-depth grounding in the theory and practice of ability and aptitude testing.
• To enable delegates to competently administer, score and feedback results of ability, aptitude and vocational interest assessments.
• To enable delegates to gain access to the widest range of tests of ability, aptitude and interests.
• 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 enable delegates to qualify for the Occupational Assistant Test User, Test User Ability certificates 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. Furthermore, delegates also benefit by avoiding the distractions that inevitably arise by still being ‘at work’ and thus able to concentrate fully on the course requirements.

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.
