Full Level B
In order to be eligible for upgrading to a Full Level B Certificate, delegates must:
- Hold a Certificate of Competence in Occupational Testing Level B Intermediate
- Hold an Intermediate Plus Certificate of Competence in occupational Testing Level B
- Provide sufficient evidence to a Verified Assessor (of which Dr Barry Cripps is one) of competence in Units 6-9, plus a Diary
- Record and Project Report.
Full Level B represents considerable added value for test takers who need to be able to make evaluative judgements about personality-based tests and testing across the full range of instruments and approaches and who need to be able to question and justify decisions in a rational and informed manner. Full Level B is designed to produce competent decision-makers.
Portfolio evidence
This consists of three parts:
Completion of four further units 6-9
Unit 6: Approaches to personality as assessment and test construction
Unit 7: Validity and reliability issues
Unit 8: Test choice and evaluation
Unit 9: When and how to use personality and interest assessment instruments
Diary record
Each of the relevant events and activities recorded in the record is given a date and described. As well as a simple, factual description, the candidate is required to reflect upon the learning which has taken place and record this along with its relationship to Units 6-9
The Project Report
This may be based upon the completion of one major project, a number of minor projects or a combination of the two. The difference between a major and minor project is not simply one of scale, although this is likely to be a distinguishing feature. A major project is also likely to involve competence spread across a number of Units, while a minor project is more likely to be focused on one or two. Despite this difference, the Project Report as a whole provides an opportunity for the candidate to demonstrate the depth of understanding in relation to the Units.
Timing and delivery
The completion of such an in-depth programme is best completed over time, one day at a time, depending on the everyday work load of each delegate. It is advisable to talk this one through, so please contact us:
