Introduction to Psychometric Tests
A Free* Day-Long Training Course facilitated by an Organisational Psychologist

This training workshop has been specially designed by PsyAsia International's experienced organisational psychologists to cover the basics of psychometric testing in a day. The Introduction to Psychometric Tests course aims to answer many of the questions that those new to psychometric tests have in an accessible and economical way. It is essentially free as we only charge participants our costs (i.e., the hotel delegate rate along with materials etc.).

Attendance at the workshop does not qualify delegates to use psychometric tests. Kindly see our Psychometric Training and Accreditation page for details on such qualification courses.

PsyAsia International is Asia's independent Leader in Psychometric Test products and Training. We choose to distribute only the world's best, most validated psychometric assessments and offer locally relevant, world-class training in psychometrics. The Introduction to Psychometrics Workshop expands on PsyAsia's expertise in Psychometric Training in Asia by offering a course geared to those with very little experience or understanding in Psychometrics. Many first time clients don't understand why they need to be careful in their choice or use of psychometrics and many do not understand why training is a necessity in competent test use.

This one-day course aims to provide experienced-based training in an accessible and economical way. The course is easy to understand and yet covers many of the important issues to be aware of when choosing and using psychometric tests. Given our passion for Asia and our passion for the competent use of psychometric tests in Asia, PsyAsia makes no profit on this course. We charge delegates a small fee that reflects the cost of the hotel venue (including buffet lunch and refreshments) where the training is held as well as materials that we provide to the delegates. What's more, if you later decide to attend one of our accreditation courses in Psychometrics, we will issue you with a discount code that reduces your course fee by the amount you paid for this course!

The course is for those who do not have a qualification or background in psychometric tests and who are interested in learning more but without some of the complexities that may apply to higher level training in psychometrics. The course does not qualify participants in psychometric testing. Instead it provides an overview of the field in an easy to understand and practical way. Participants will be made aware of what to look for in psychometric tests on the market and what questions to ask distributors and publishers, they will have exposure to a range of tests and have an understanding of how psychometric tests are developed and used. Delegates will also be made aware of the pitfalls in psychometrics and the practices of less reputable providers of psychometric tests. Should delegates decide to attend further training in Psychometric Tests with PsyAsia within 6 months, we will fully refund the small fee paid for this course.

This training course is always run by experts in psychometric tests, organisational psychologists. Our psychologists have at least an MSc level of education specifically in organisational psychology in addition to the British Psychological Society's Level A and B Certificates of Competence in Occupational Testing. You can be certain that you are getting relevant, competent and trustworthy training and advice from people who not only know their field but are passionate about it.

*Delegates are charged only our costs (i.e., hotel delegate rate which includes buffet lunch and refreshments; materials etc.). Even still, if delegates register on one of our qualification courses in psychometrics within 6 months of attending this course, we will refund even the fee you paid for costs!
