There are two ways to use Quintax!

1. Method 1: you can register as a Quintax Authorised User – either by undertaking relevant training ( a 2 day course is available), or by applying for training exemption based on your experience as a tester.  This page deals mainly with this method, and the different training routes possible.  
2. Method 2: if you are not registered or trained, you can still get the benefits of using Quintax by working with us!  Click for details of the Quintax Bureau Service
   

Alternatively, if you wish to complete Quintax or Quintax On-line for your own development, please call us on +44 (0)161 877 3277 to discuss the options.

Becoming Registered as an Authorised Quintax User

If you need training, you can obtain this from ourselves at SR&A, or from any provider displaying the Quintax Licensed Trainer Logo shown below.

For example, you can obtain Quintax training in the south west of England from Chromis Consulting.

What to do to become Registered
There are a variety of training routes that enable people to become registered as an Authorised Users of Quintax – these are described below for different types of potential user and also on our Quintax Training Page


If you are not qualified in psychometric testing ...
For those with no prior experience or qualifications in testing there are two main options.

• The simplest option is to complete our 2 Day Quintax Qualification programme. This is intended for delegates who wish to become Quintax users and who do not currently require BPS certification.
• A second option is to complete our 'Level A programme'
  followed by our 'Intermediate Level B' programme. These
  enable delegates to become Quintax qualified while collecting two nationally recognised certificates in testing awarded by the British Psychological Society: the Level A and the Intermediate Level B Certificates.

If you are qualified as a tester up to BPS Level A ...
If you are eligible for or have a BPS Level A Certificate but don't have Level B you can become an Authorised User of Quintax via our Intermediate Level B programme (which also provides registration for a wide range of other personality measures). Alternatively you could take our 2 day Quintax Qualifying Course as described above.


If you are already qualified up to BPS Intermediate or Full Level B ...
Those who are eligible for or have the British Psychological Society's Intermediate or Full Level B Certificate (or equivalent*) can obtain Authorised User status by completing a Quintax Authorised User Registration Form and by purchasing a Quintax
Registration Pack. The Registration Pack contains:

• A Quintax Reference Set
• A Quintax On-line account with 150 Quintax On-line Units (these are credits that can be used to purchase on-line assessments using the questionnaire).
• An option to attend FREE our 1 day Quintax conversion programme to obtain familiarisation with the questionnaire. Attendance at the programme is recommended but not mandatory.

*'Equivalent' in the above is normally taken to mean having qualified on at least one Level B personality measure and having used this in a range of contexts in relation to selection and/or development of people. If in doubt, contact us to see if your experience and qualifications enable registration.


If you are already qualified up to BPS Intermediate Level B but would also like to qualify at B+ using Quintax...
Those who are qualified at Intermediate Level B but would also like to obtain the BPS Intermediate B+ Certificate by means of Quintax may attend our 1 day B+ Quintax Conversion Course. This includes a FREE Quintax Registration Pack (as above), together with a portfolio of exercises for completion and assessment at Level B+. For the B+ route, attendance at the 1 day Conversion Course is mandatory. For B+ qualification, the BPS requires that your second instrument (Quintax) is 'sufficiently different' from your first instrument to guarantee that you have had broad coverage of personality measures. Please contact us if you are in any doubt as to the degree of difference between your first measure and Quintax.


If you are not in any of these categories ...
If your circumstances don't match those described above, for example if you are a researcher, MSc/PhD student or University staff member wishing to use Quintax, please contact us to discuss the options.
