EFPA Combined Level 1 & 2 Course

Psytech’s combined courses allow you to become qualified to use both occupational Ability Tests and Personality Assessments. The Certificates gained in the main Combined Course are:

The ATU Certificate is an EFPA (European Federation of Psychological Associations) Level 1 certificate. Previously the BPS 'Test Administration' certificate, it is mandatory to achieve the Level 1 units this certificate contains to be eligible for the Level 2 qualifications.

Formally BPS Level A. The TUA Certificate is an EFPA (European Federation of Psychological Associations) Level 2 certificate. The Test User Ability Certificate is required to register with test publishers and gain access to Occupational Ability Tests.

Formally Level B(Intermediate) . The TUP Certificate is an EFPA (European Federation of Psychological Associations) Level 2 certificate. The Test User Personality Certificate provides access to Personality assessment.

By combining the Ability and Personality Certificates 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 studied separately or if the component modules are separated by weeks or months.

Formally Level B(Intermediate Plus). The TUP+ Certificate is an EFPA (European Federation of Psychological Associations) Level 2 certificate. The Test User Personality- Additional Instrument Certificate provides evidence that you have demonstrated assessed competence in additional instruments beyond that in which you gained your first TUP Certificate.

Psytech have trained thousands of people to help them gain their BPS Certificates of Competence in Occupational Testing. In fact Psytech have trained nearly 25% of all who hold the BPS Level B (Intermediate) certificate probably making Psytech the world’s leading psychometric testing training provider. The combined course is designed for anyone, in any field, wishing to use psychometrics in their business professionally, ethically and effectively. We regularly train human resource professionals, line managers, education councillors, career councillors and psychologists who wish to use tests to aid selection, development, guidance, coaching and counselling to name but a few of the possible applications for testing.

Block booking is a method of reserving multiple training places at a substantial cost saving. You only need decide how many places you or your company requires, and confirm them by a single invoice paid before commencement of the first delegate's training. Once you have paid for a block booking you have complete flexibility of when you send delegates for training; they can all attend one course (subject to availability) or can be spread across any of our future courses to suit your staff requirements. We do note that the option of block booking is very popular with many clients.

Not only does it have commercial advantages both in terms of price and flexibility, but delegates also find they benefit from learning with others from a diverse range of professional backgrounds and benefit from the sharing of individual experiences. Furthermore, delegates also benefit by avoiding the distractions that inevitably arise by still being 'at work' and thus able to concentrate fully on the course requirements.

If you have 6 or more colleagues who need to be trained, it may be cost-effective to organise a course at a time and venue of your choice. If the training is for one organisation, this provides the added benefit that the training can be focused on your specific assessment requirements. Contact Psytech to discuss your training requirements.
