Course IntroductionOccupational Test User This course fulfills the BPS requirements to award ‘Occupational test user: Ability and Personality certification’ (previously known as Level A and B). Trainees gain the key skills and knowledge needed to effectively use and administer psychometric tests in the workplace. Delegates will also receive training in the professional use of Talent Q’s Elements and Dimensions suite of assessments.

Course contents1. Assessing Ability at Work: Here, we cover the essentials of psychological testing, historical and contemporary perspectives on ability testing in the workplace, job analysis techniques, fairness and diversity in testing and advances in adaptive testing techniques.

2. Personality at Work: This covers the theories that inform our understanding of personality, the various methods used to assess personality in the workplace and the background to the Dimensions personality questionnaire. It also illustrates the importance of fairness and diversity in assessment and the key responsibilities of the assessment practitioners.

3. Psychometric Theory: This part of the course covers the fundamentals of psychometric theory, including the statistical concepts that underpin all psychometric assessments. These statistics help us to understand test results and enable us to evaluate the overall usefulness and appropriatenessof any given test.

4. Practitioner Skills: The final part of the course focuses on developing the practical skills required to be an effective practitioner. This includes the adminis-tration, interpretation and feedback of Talent Q’s Elements ability tests (verbal, numerical and logical reasoning). Course assessment is via a combination of coursework exercises completed at home and a final face-to-face test in additional to demonstration of practical administration and feedback skills.

The BPS are the international benchmark for quality in the use of psychometric assessments. Psychometrics are used
