Accredited Courses
ETC Consult has been training individuals from organisations of all sizes and specialties in the professional administration and interpretation of psychometric tests since 1982. Before anybody in any organisation can access professionally produced psychometric tests, he or she needs to take accredited assessments such as the courses we provide every year.
Our courses teach participants how to administer, interpret and implement tests that are used by organisations of all sizes globally to drastically improve their ability to hire the right people, develop employees and build leaders. Therapists, Psychologists, Career Counsellors and Coaches also use these tests to enhance the level of expertise in their coaching, development and counselling activities. The tests that successful participants of our courses will get access to include those published by renowned organisations such as Pearson, Saville, Morrisby and Hogan Assessment Systems.
Our courses have been accredited by professional bodies such as The British Psychological Society (BPS) and the European Federation of Psychologists’ Association (EFPA).
How will these courses benefit my career and my organisation?
By taking one or more of our courses, participants will acquire best-practice psychometric expertise in objectively assessing the general ability, specific abilities (aptitudes), personality and motivators of candidates for jobs at all levels.
Career Coaches, Executives, Therapists and Psychologists who take our courses will be able to use this expertise in psychometrics to provide best-in-class career guidance and direction to clients of all ages and backgrounds.
Post-certification support is also included in the price to ensure the best possible outcomes for our participants and their business.
