BPS ability test training
This BPS accredited course (formerly Level A) qualifies you to use all OPP’s ability and aptitude tests. The programme replaces the BPS Level A course, and can be followed up with the Test User: Occupational, Personality course (formerly Level B).
Overview
This BPS accreditation workshop uses a variety of teaching methods, including distance learning, interactive exercises, group work, presentations and real-life practice sessions. Each participant will receive coaching on their administration and feedback skills during a practice session overseen by experienced trainers. Some pre- and post-attendance work is required, and some of this will be online.
Course duration
3 days
What you will learn
- Administration, interpretation and feedback skills
- How to choose the appropriate test for any given purpose
- How to integrate ability and aptitude tests effectively into both selection/recruitment and development processes
- How to use tests legally, ethically and fairly
- Knowledge of technical concepts (such as reliability and validity) that will help you to evaluate the tests from any publisher.
Learning approach
This programme uses online distance learning, face-to-face training and individual fieldwork to embed skills and learning; a real-life case study and practical experience are central to the workshop.
Course benefits

“I really appreciated how both of the trainers continually brought every concept to life with a vast range of examples (many fun), plus their empathy with the group. Thanks to all at OPP who took part. Very professional, pacey, engaging, adult and fun. Beyond all expectations.
