Based in Manchester, SR&A Public and In-Company BPS Test User Training (formerly Level A and Level B) has been a market leader for more than a decade. Around 2000 delegates have successfully completed our courses and gone on to use their skills to the benefit of their organisations.  If you want to go straight to a course description or a listing of dates and prices, click on the purple panel to the right!  Below are some of the reasons we get selected as Test User Training providers by our clients.

• We are fully up to date and compliant with the new British Psychological Society standards for test use published and introduced on 5th September 2011, and we fully support these.  Our courses provide direct access to the new BPS qualifications:
  • Assistant Test User (formerly Test Administrator)
  • Test User; Occupational Ability (formerly Level A)
  • Test User; Occupational, Personality (formerly Level B)
  • Specialist in Test Use (formerly Full Level B)
• We also provide access to the new Register of Qualifications in Test Use (RQTU) introduced on September 5th 2011 as a way to enable test users to maintain an up to date competency profile in testing available in the public domain.

• Our 4 day Test User, Ability (Level A) training course utilises tests from a variety of publishers, giving delegates a chance to see a variety of materials.
• Our 3 day Test User, Personality (Level B) training course is based upon our highly regarded Quintax Personality Questionnaire.  Quintax is a modern and well reviewed talent management tool based on the 'Big Five'. It has excellent support materials for use in selection, development, and coaching of people at work, including excellent written feedback for both assessors and respondents.  It often takes little more than 10 minutes to complete, and it provides a fantastic platform for interview, discussion and exploration of work issues with respondents.  See here for more details of the instrument.  Also see our Quintax training page for shorter routes to becoming a Quintax user that are available for people who do not require BPS certification.
