The course is for those who currently
already have a good knowledge of personality
assessment - usually assessed by way
of the British Psychological Society's
Level B Certificate of Competence in
Occupational Testing. Those who have

on substantive tests such as SHL's OPQ32
or IPAT's 16PF are also eligible to
attend.
