Not all assessment tools are created equal
Most behavioral assessments tell you what someone is like. Wave®, our own model, tells you what they will deliver, how well, and where they will struggle. It is built around predictive power, linking behavior directly to performance at work.
Wave® measures both what someone is driven to do and what they are able to do, in one framework. Paired with our cognitive ability assessments, the odds of a mis-hire drop to 1 in 50.

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.

How it fits around you
Our training is built to fit your schedule and your learning style rather than disrupt them. Every course is self-paced e-learning followed by live tutoring, and the live days can be split if your diary will not take them in one block.
For individuals
Book a place on any scheduled session and work through the e-learning around the day job.
For talent consultants
Add expert assessment consultancy to what you offer, backed by a model your clients can see the evidence for.
For in-company teams
Three or more? We run any course privately on your dates, so everyone ends up reading the same reports the same way.
Support after the course
Every course has a named consultant: a call before you start, a check-in while you learn, and someone to contact afterwards. You keep access to expert support, practical tools and learning resources once the course ends.
Every Test User booking also includes three complimentary expert reports from our deepest behavioral assessment, so you can profile someone real in the week you qualify.
