Prior to the course, delegates will be asked to complete some pre-course work. There is no pre-course work for Level
1 but delegates are advised to view our complimentary training videos. Level 2 Ability delegates are required to read
a short manual, taking around 90 minutes or less. Level 2 Personality delegates are required to read a short manual,
again taking around 90 minutes. In addition to this, Level 2 Personality delegates must view videos on the
interpretation of the Identity Self-Perception Questionnaire and complete a quiz. This can be expected to take around
3 hours. As soon as we receive payment from delegates, they are given immediate access to our Online Learning
Centre. We therefore advise delegates to sign up for their course as far in advance as possible to give them as much
time as possible to utilize all Learning Centre resources. This will ensure the best learning experience. The Learning
Centre comprises training videos, recorded lessons, quizzes, course workbooks and manuals.

For those attending our face-to-face training there will be work to do on each evening of the course. This can be
minimized by doing more learning prior to the actual training sessions. We estimate the work for each evening to
be around 1-2 hours depending on your learning speed. However, on Day Four of your course, please allow additional
time for evening work of up to 3 hours. You may not need this amount of time, but please allow for it to be safe!

Post-course work includes completion of the course workbook, along with additional personality assessment
administration and feedback for Level 2 Personality. The actual amount of work will depend on how much time you
devoted to the workbook during the course. On average, you should expect your post-course work for the combined
Level 1 & 2 Ability and Personality course to take up to 2 days, whilst for those attending only Level 2 Ability or only
Level 2 Personality, this will take up to a day. The more preparation delegates do before the course and the more
they are able to apply themselves during the course, the less post-course work will need to be done!

A few UK vendors offer this certification in a shorter “Express” course. Our experience is that this requires
significantly more pre-and post-course work and leads to delegates feeling significantly more pressure during the
course – guaranteed!

Successful delegates will be able to apply for the British Psychological Society's Occupational Testing Qualifications:
Level 1 Assistant Test User and Level 2 Ability Test User and Personality Test User. They will also be able to appear
on the society’s Register of Qualifications in Test Use for an additional annual fee payable to the BPS. Furthermore,
for another small additional fee, successful Level 2: Personality Test User certificate holders will be able to apply f or
the European Federation of Psychological Associations (EFPA) Test User Certificate. Certificate holders are expec ted
to keep themselves both current and to ensure recency of practice. As a result, there is a requirement to declare this
status to the BPS once every 6 years. A number of these declarations will be audited.

Our face-to-face delegates get full access to our Online Learning Centre not just for their pre-course work, but for
the entire period of the training and follow-up work. This means you can go back over any lecture/presentation given
by the tutor because every single Module is recorded in high quality video and audio. You will also have access to
other learning tools, including manuals, quizzes and so on. We do not know of any competitor who offers this!

We are passionate about enhancing competence in Psychometrics in Asia. Having trained in the UK, Australia and
the USA, our facilitator is globally credentialed and offers world-class training. Our delegates love our training as c an

"The length of the course is highly suitable for working professionals and all topics have been adequately and
comprehensively covered."
Lau I-Shan | HR Executive | Ministry of Home Affairs (Singapore)

"Very useful for understanding about the essence of psychometric assessment and gaining competence in assessing
psychometric tools."

Winnie Lee | Counselling Specialist | The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

"The course was helpful to my understanding of the statistical basis underlying psychometric tests and as well as some of the
psychometric criteria and properties to watch out for when purchasing tests. These were some areas which I found to be
useful above and beyond the basic psychometric theories, partly due to having the information delivered in layman language

which makes it less daunting for individuals not trained in psychology to learn."

Lai Wei Wei | Consultant (Psychologist) | Civil Service College (Singapore)

Raja Nor Dianna | Asst. Vice President | Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Malaysia)
