Saville Conversion is part of an integrated suite of training courses designed by Saville Consulting and presented by PsyAsia. These training courses are developed with 3 things in mind:
 You are busy and want value for money
Testing has a big dollar impact for organisations and you want to know how to maximise that impact
Continuing education is a hallmark of professional life today
Saville Conversion recognises prior learning and builds on it by equipping you to get immediate benefit from both WAVE and Saville’s range of new Aptitude Tests, in just one day.

Australia and New Zealand

with more than 25 years experience
in human resources, consulting and

modern concepts in testing to the
Australian and other regional markets,
and later, was involved in product
development and strategy. He has headed
the Australian HR function of 3 multinationals,
and was a military psychologist before
that. Scott has a degree in psychology

Syllabus Change Note:
Prior to every course that we run, it is our 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. |
