We provide retained guidance and coaching in the best practice use of psychometric assessment and have close links with, yet are independent of, the UK's leading publishers of psychometric tests.

We run assessment centre and development centre assessor skills programmes as well as interview skills programmes (expert and beginner). We are constantly seeking partnerships for developing work samples of repute and transferable validity and utility.

We also run Test Administration, Level A and Level B psychometric test training programmes. Our programmes adhere to the seven and five unit requirements set by the British Psychological Society. The key facet in each is that they are case study driven and all course directors are Chartered Occupational Psychologists. Level A is generic and qualifies in all UK cognitive reasoning tests. For Level B, we focus on the 16PF family, the work of Raymond Cattell and specifically the 15FQ+ [formerly known as the 16PF Industrial]. On completion of the programme you are registered to purchase 15FQ+ materials and are eligible for OPP's conversion day to enable you to purchase 16PF5 materials directly from OPP.

There are a number of ways that you can become qualified. Firstly, by attending our public courses. These courses are run at both our locations, London and Newcastle, on the dates below:

Level A Course Dates, 2010:

• 8 March – 10 March
• 14 June - 16 June
• 11 October - 13 October

Level B Course Dates, 2010 [plus one day follow-up]:

• 19 April – 22 April
• 15 November - 18 November

Our public course fees are £1,350 per delegate for Level A and £1,650 per delegate for Level B.   Fees include all course materials and are subject to VAT. 

Secondly, by attending a company specific in-house programme. These programmes are arranged and costed on request.

Thirdly, by completing a self-directed learning programme.  This is a very popular option which combines a number of personal tuition sessions within an open learning programme.  This option enables you to tailor the programme to your own timetable to suit your needs and convenience.  There is reading and practical work to be completed between one session and the next.   We recommend a programme of three half day face-to-face tutorial sessions for both Level A and B.  There is also an additional half day follow-up for Level B.  These options carry the same per delegate course fee as quoted above.  

It is possible to reduce the personal tuition sessions for both Level A and B which places greater demand upon your own open learning.  With just one tutorial session the fee for Level A is £900, for Level B £1,150.  With two tutorial sessions the fee for Level A is £1,250, for Level B £1,350.  Fees include all course materials and on-going telephone/email support throughout the open learning programme.
