THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ASSESS WITH US
How it works
Our courses area combination of e-learning you take at your own pace, and live tutoring with our course directors.
Book a place on a scheduled session, or we will run it privately for your team.
Flexible format
Do the e-learning when it suits you, then join live virtual tutoring with a course director and other delegates. Split the live days if your diary will not take them in one block.
Individuals & consultants
If you advise clients on hiring and development, this is how you add assessment to what you sell, instead of referring the interpretation out to someone else.
In-company teams
Training three or more? We will run any course privately for your team, on your dates, so everyone ends up reading the same reports the same way.
Expert on call
You get a named consultant, a call before you start, and a check-in while you are learning. After the course you keep the expert support, the tools and the resources, so you are not left working it out alone.
Advise with confidence
The odds of a mis-hire when you hire with our expert-level assessments. Hire without assessments and it is 1 in 5. Certifying is what unlocks them.
Most development budget goes out untargeted. You will know which people will move, and on what.
Spot the leadership potential other people miss, including in those who never put themselves forward, and move them.
Most reports end up in a drawer or half used, because nobody talked anyone through them. Be the expert who does.
Two kinds of assessment, one qualification
Wave®, our behavioral assessment
Many tools measure personality. We help you predict performance.
Wave® reads what someone is driven to do and what they are able to do in one framework, which is how you say something useful about a specific job instead of describing a personality type.
Aptitude, our cognitive ability tests
Our aptitude tests measure cognitive ability: verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning.
They show how well someone thinks their way through work they have never seen before, which is the one thing a resume never tells you.
Our Test User and Wave® Transfer courses confer eligibility for full BPS and EFPA accreditation. Outside the UK, we deliver training directly or through our partner network.
Find the course you need
A mixture of e-Learning and virtual tutored sessions. Pick the route that matches where you are now.
No assessment qualification yet? These options get you confident to use our behavioral and aptitude assessments on real decisions.
Test User: Occupational Ability and Personality (Formerly Level A & B)
The full qualification. Covers aptitude tests for cognitive ability and Wave® for behavior, so you finish able to screen, profile, and give feedback across a whole hiring process
Test User: Occupational Ability (Formerly Level A)
Cognitive ability only. Administer and interpret aptitude tests, set cut-off scores, and feed results back to candidates and hiring managers. Start here if screening at volume is the immediate need.
Test User: Occupational Personality (Formerly Level B)
Behavior only, using Wave®. It requires the ability qualification first, so most people take the combined course instead unless they already hold one from us or another provider.
Training outside the UK
We run these courses internationally ourselves, and we have a partner network that delivers them locally. Tell us where you are and we will tell you which route applies.
BPS-accredited routes for anyone without a current test user qualification. All three confer eligibility for full BPS and EFPA accreditation.
Wave® Transfer course
For practitioners already qualified in another recognized behavioral tool.
Adds Wave® to what you can use, at your own pace, finishing with a live feedback practice session.
Wave® Performance 360 course
Qualifies you to run 360 feedback programs and interpret the reports, so development conversations rest on more than self-report and one manager’s view.
Leadership Impact Practitioner masterclass
A practitioner course in the Leadership Impact and Risk models: how to profile the leadership your strategy needs, then hire and develop against it.
Support from day one
A named consultant from the start, a call before, a check-in during, and expert support, tools and resources after. Reference books, a workbook and a starter pack are in the price, and the hours count toward CIPD CPD.
Put to work the same week
Every Test User booking includes three expert reports from our deepest behavioral assessment, so you profile someone real, on a real decision, before the training goes cold.
A trusted advisor, not just a certificate
Consultants sell assessment instead of referring it out. In-house, you stop waiting on someone else to read the reports. Either way you become known for the expertise behind the biggest talent decisions.
In their words
The online self-paced learning was engaging because I could work through the information at my own pace. The practice feedback session was structured well: I watched the consultant deliver one first, then had a go myself.
The practice and role play was challenging but really helpful for practicing the language to use when feeding back to both candidates and managers.”
Common questions
If your question is not here, our training team will answer it the same day.
No. Test User: Occupational Ability and Personality assumes no previous experience and takes you from nothing to certified use. The shorter courses do have prerequisites, listed on each course page.
Between five hours and three and a half days, depending on the course. The full Test User qualification is 8 to 12 hours of e-learning plus 2.5 days of live virtual tutoring.
Yes. Test User: Occupational Ability and Personality and the Wave® Transfer course confer eligibility for full BPS and EFPA accreditation. If you are based outside the UK, talk to us about how the training is delivered and recognized where you are.
For the full Test User course, nothing. Occupational Personality requires the ability qualification first, Wave® Transfer requires an existing behavioral tool qualification, and Performance 360 and the Leadership Impact masterclass require a Wave® qualification.
Yes. We run any of these courses privately for groups of three or more, on a date that suits you, so your team works to one standard.
