PsyAsia's Psychometric
Test Administration Course provides
delegates with the ability to understand and
competently practice the administration of
ability and personality assessments in organizational
settings. PsyAsia was the first and is the
longest established local provider of this
course in Asia and we were also the first
to offer Live Online Training in Psychometric
Test Administration! Most classes
are led by an award-winning Doctor of Organisational
Psychology. The course also allows successful
delegates to apply to the British Psychological
Society for the Certificate of Competence
in Psychometric Test Administration. |

| Course Timings |
| The face-to-face
course lasts one day and commences at
9.30am and finishes between 5.00pm and
6.00pm depending on discussion and delegate
needs. Please do not schedule anything
else during the day. Delegates who are
absent for any part of the course will
not be able to receive certification.
See opposite for next course dates.
The Live Online course
runs over a total of 4 hours, based
on 4 sessions, each of one hour's
duration (although we are always happy
to continue to answer questions and/or
schedule additional sessions if required
by a group of delegates). Delegates
are expected to attend all sessions.
However if the delegate is unable
to make a session, he/she may view
a recorded version at our online learning
center. See opposite for next course
dates. If there is no Live training
scheduled at a time/date convenient
to you, please register
for our recorded test administration
training instead.
We also offer a forum
and text chat in
our online learning center so that
delegates can learn from and share
with other delegates before, during
and after a course. Note that all
face-to-face delegates will be given
access to the recorded live sessions.

| Professional Certification |
| All attendees who remain
present for the whole course and administer
and score tests to the required standard
will receive a certificate from PsyAsia
International, signed by our registered
psychologists. Optionally, for a small
additional fee, delegates may choose
to be assessed for the British Psychological
Society's Certificate of Competence
in Test Administration providing them
with an internationally recognised certificate
following the course. Delegates must
still pay the certificate fee directly
to the BPS.
Our online trainees may also benefit
from both of the certificates noted
above by completing the course and
the end of course exam (online) and
then either opting to be assessed
by us in Singapore or Hong Kong, or
submitting a video-CD which shows
the trainee competently (a) administering
a psychometric test (b) scoring 3
psychometric tests. We also need to
see formal photo identification (e.g.,
passport or driver's license etc.). |

| Course Content |
Participants will be shown examples
of personality tests, a number of general
ability tests and several tests of specific
aptitudes. In addition to discussing
practical procedures of administration,
the course will also cover a number
of further issues essential for their
competent and proper usage in the company:
e.g., theory and principles of testing,
elementary test theory and ethical issues.
Additionally, participants will be introduced
to the logistics of testing within the
company.

| Delegates on this course
usually come from organizations that
already have trained test users in-house
and wish to delegate the time-consuming
task of administration. Alternatively,
organizations new to the test arena
often send delegates on this course
and use PsyAsia to score and interpret
the tests, with a view to investing
in the more advanced
psychometric assessment at work (BPS
Level A & B) training courses
at a later date. |
|
|
| |
| |
 |
|
|
| |
| Successful delegates
will be qualified to administer
and score psychometric ability
and personality tests, including all
tests offered by PsyAsia International.
Delegates will still need to complete
our Psychometric
Assessment at Work Course before
they are able to interpret or
feedback aptitude and personality
test results. |

| PsyAsia's Test Administration

policy to consult the worldwide literature and
practice databases to ensure that we teach the
most up-to-date content. For this reason, our
syllabus is subject to change. However, you
can of course rest assured that we do not bring
you a static course, rather a course that evolves
with the Asian and international business and
human resource management environments.
