Apollo Personality Profile Accreditation Workshop
 

Apollo Profile Accreditation

 
     
  Psychometric Tests are useful tools in today's workplace. Not only do they provide a scientific basis for selection and development of employees, they also save incredible time and cost given their ability to assess candidates rapidly and objectively. However, these benefits disappear if the tools  are not used properly. It's  important for all users of a test to understand the basic principles of psychometric assessment generally, in addition to how the test works, how to interpret it, report and make decisions based upon the test. In order to ensure that all users of the Apollo Profile are competent to use it, PsyAsia International and the Apollonean Institute require users to demonstrate their competence by way of one of the routes below. The routes are listed in order of time investment, from least to most. Click on the purple arrow below to view all possible routes or simply continue reading below if your interest is in the one-day Apollo Profile Accreditation Workshop.  
 
  Routes to Apollo Accreditation    
 
ROUTE 1: The Apollo Profile Basic Online Course
Apollo Basic Online Personality CoursePsyAsia designed this course to enable busy HR managers and the like to have fast access to the Apollo Profile whilst still ensuring that they are competent in the use of the test. The Basic Online course consists of a narrated presentation with slides and is priced to allow easy access to the Apollo reports. Do note however that completion of this course does not "accredit" users in the Apollo Profile. Accreditation requires one of the options below. However, those who successfully complete the Basic Online Course will be able to use certain reports from the Apollo system. They will not get their own Online Psychometric Testing System and will need to pay the reasonable yet more highly priced bureau service fee when using Apollo. You may register for the course anytime (even on weekends and late at night!) here. Feel free to contact us if you have questions about what you can do after completing the course.
ROUTE 2: Attend PsyAsia's Apollo Personality Profile Accreditation Course
PsyAsia's experienced psychologists are accredited by the publisher of the Apollo Profile to accredit users in the tool. Full details of the one-day (plus pre-course) accreditation course are provided below. We offer public courses primarily in Singapore & Hong Kong and in-house courses for groups of between 4-12 people anywhere worldwide but with special focus on Asia.
ROUTE 3: Distance Learning Accreditation
For this option, we provide you with soft-copy Apollo Profile literature which includes manuals and sample reports. You read through the material and then when you are ready you complete an online test. You need to pass the test first go. If you don't you will need to choose one of the other options to use the Apollo Profile! You can commence your Distance Learning for the Apollo Profile right now by clicking this link. Successful graduates of this learning will be fully accredited in the Apollo Profile and will receive an online psychometric personality test system with their first order for Apollo credits.
ROUTE 4: Attend our Psychometric Assessment at Work Course
PsyAsia's Psychometric Assessment at Work Course leads to a qualification from the British Psychological Society. PsyAsia was the first and at the time of writing is the only organisation in Asia offering this course publicly on a regular basis - our facilitator is a resident of Asia! Those who attend this firm ground in psychometric assessment of personality and aptitude have the option to also qualify in the Apollo Profile without additional fee.

What's included in the fee?
We will send you the Apollo manual in soft copy. We will send you a link so that you can log in to our Online Learning Centre and optionally complete our Basic Apollo Online Course. We will send you a link to complete the Apollo Profile questionnaire online before the course day and provide you with printed copies of your own Apollo Narrative, Summary, Areas of Concern and Wheel reports. We will also email you your own Apollo Development report. The fee includes full professional training by a registered psychologist and accredited facilitator and a certificate from the Apollo publisher as well as complimentary registration on the publisher's database as an accredited Apollo practitioner.

 

Why Apollo?
There's a complete range of tests on the market that purport to assess personality. Some of them use methods that should not be used in selection decisions. Other tests lack technical rigour and have low reliability and validity. Apollo not only counters these issues but it goes one step further. Even well reputed personality tests compare your candidate with the average candidate to make the scores meaningful. Apollo is not concerned with average, but with excellence and is unique in this way. Apollo reports tell you how your candidate's personality relates to those who have been rated as excellent in various roles such as Management, Call Centre Sales, General Workforce and so on. In addition, Apollo is one of the best value-for-money personality tests around - you pay once per candidate and get unlimited reports per candidate. There are no annual license fees to pay. You get your own Apollo online system which you manage yourself.

 

Live Online Training Option
PsyAsia also offers Live Online Training & Accreditation for the Apollo Profile. The Apollo specific components run over 4 sessions, each of about 70-80 minutes that run from 5pm Singapore/Hong Kong time. You just log-in from your computer and will interact with other delegates and the psychologist facilitator in real time. View slides, take part in discussions, present your own case studies and more! Online training also features membership of our Online Learning Center where you can discuss the course and the Apollo profile in forums and live chat with your co-delegates, even in the absence of the facilitator. View under "Next Public Course" on the right side of this page and look for Live Online Training to find out the next course dates. Note that each of the 4 sessions have homework assignments which take around 45 minutes each.

 
  Who is this course for    
 
The Apollo Accreditation Workshop is for human resource professionals, line managers, supervisors, consultants, psychologists, training managers, counsellors and anybody who needs to use the Apollo Profile to assess people at work or those about to embark into the working world.
