British Psychological Society (BPS) Certificates of Competence in Occupational Testing
The BPS has established three qualification levels in Occupational Testing Test Administration, Level A and Level B. There are three levels within the B qualification; Level B (intermediate), Level B (intermediate) Plus and Level B Full.

Test Administration Certificate covers the requirements to administer and score (but not interpret) a range of psychometric tests (including measures of personality and reasoning ability) under the supervision of a fully trained professional.

Level A covers the requirement to administer, score and interpret aptitude and ability tests and is accepted by all reputable U.K. publishers are the basis for registration to use this category of test.

Level B (intermediate) builds upon Level A to cover the requirements for using personality instruments. It’s the practitioner level held by the majority of test users and is gained by demonstrating competence in an initial substantive personality instrument. Holding this certificate will give you access to all Psytech tests and the majority of assessments from major test publishers. Level B (intermediate) Plus requires delegates to demonstrate competence in an additional instrument. Level B Full is aimed at personnel professionals and psychologists who plan to specialise in occupational assessment services and wish to develop a broader, more general level of competence in applying assessment in a wide range of situations.

COMBINED LEVEL A&B (INTERMEDIATE) COURSE WITH B PLUS OPTION

The Psytech advantage
Psytech’s combined Level A and B course allows you to become qualified to use both Level A and B tests. Optionally, delegates may elect to study an additional instrument concurrently and thus efficiently gain the B Plus certificate. By combining the two levels into a single course, delegates are able to obtain a more thorough grounding in the theory and application of psychological assessment as a whole. This approach saves time by avoiding the duplication that occurs when the two levels are separated by weeks or months.

Who the course is for:
The combined course is designed for human resource professionals, line managers and psychologists who wish to use
tests to aid selection, development and career counselling.

Course objectives:

To provide an in-depth grounding in the theory and practice of ability and personality testing
To enable delegates to gain access to the widest range of tests of ability, aptitude, interests, values and personality.
To equip delegates with the knowledge required to critically evaluate psychometric tests for specific applications.
To enable delegates to successfully implement objective assessment methods for selection, development, counselling and guidance.
To provide a thorough and objective overview of the assessment market.
To assess the role of computers in assessment.
To enable delegates to qualify for the Level A, Level B (intermediate) and Level B (intermediate) Plus certificates of competence in occupational testing and to be included in the BPS Register of Competence in Occupational Testing.
