Prior to thecourse, delegates will be askedto completesomepre-coursework.Thereis no pre-coursework for Level
1 but delegates are advised to view our complimentary training videos.Level 2 Ability delegates are required to read
a short manual, taking around 90 minutes or less. Level 2 Personality delegates are required to read a short manual,
again taking around 90 minutes. In addition to this, Level 2 Personality delegates must view videos on the
interpretation of theIdentity Self-PerceptionQuestionnaireandcompleteaquiz.This can beexpectedtotakearound
3 hours. As soon as we receive payment from delegates, they are given immediate access to our Online Learning
Centre. We therefore advise delegates to sign up for their course as far in advance as possible to give them as much
time as possible to utilize all Learning Centre resources. This will ensure the best learning experience. The Learning
Centrecomprises trainingvideos,recordedlessons, quizzes, courseworkbooks andmanuals.
For those attending our face-to-face training there will be work to do on each evening of the course. This can be
minimized by doing more learning prior to the actual training sessions. We estimate the work for each evening to
be around1-2 hours dependingon yourlearningspeed. However, on Day Four of your course, pleaseallowadditional
time for evening work of up to 3 hours. You may not need this amount of time, but please allow for it to be safe!
Post-course work includes completion of the course workbook, along with additional personality assessment
administration and feedback for Level 2 Personality. The actual amount of work will depend on how much time you
devotedtothe workbook duringthecourse. On average, you shouldexpect your post-coursework for thecombined
Level 1 & 2 Ability and Personality course to take up to 2 days, whilst for those attending only Level 2 Ability or only
Level 2 Personality, this will take up to a day. The more preparation delegates do before the course and the more
they are able to apply themselves during the course, the less post-course work will need to be done!
A few UK vendors offer this certification in a shorter “Express” course. Our experience is that this requires
significantly more pre-and post-course work and leads to delegates feeling significantly more pressure during the
course– guaranteed!

psychometric criteria and properties to watch out for when purchasing tests. These were some areas which I found to be
useful above and beyond the basic psychometric theories, partly due to having the information delivered in layman language
