Level B

For those who are already in possession of the Level A Certificate of Competence in Occupational testing, this course covers the requirements to use personality questionnaires with specific focus on 15FQ+ and 16PF5 leading to the Certificate of Competence in Occupational Testing Level B (Intermediate).

The Level B Certificate is gained by demonstrating competence in the use of an initial instrument which 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 the course and a follow up assessment project.  The learning outcomes are consolidated through a follow up day.

Who is the course for?

The combined course is designed for human resource professionals, line managers and psychologists who wish to use tests to aid selection, development and career counselling.

The course objectives

• To provide an in-depth grounding in the theory and practice of ability and personality testing
• To enable delegates to gain access to the widest range of tests of ability, aptitude, interests, values and 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 Level A, Level B (intermediate) and Level B (intermediate) Plus certificates of competence in occupational testing and to be included in the BPS Register of Competence in Occupational Testing.

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.
