training & support

 
Our client service teams will train you, advise you and help you to use people assessments to achieve an immediate impact on your business.

Our consultants are based locally to you around the UK. Many of them are experienced business leaders – they understand your challenges and will take a pragmatic approach to enabling you to achieve the maximum value from assessments.

And our trainers are the best in the business. We would say that, but they’ve all been feet-on-the-streets business people. And between them they have years of experience helping businesses like yours to improve their performance with better people.

Our training courses

We offer a range of one and two day public courses for practitioner certification in PPA, TST/GIA and EI. We also offer in-house training solutions based on facilitating behavioural change in the work place, including a course on Self-Awareness and Modifying Behaviour.

PPA discovering the professional work style

This is a two day course that will teach you the mechanics of the PPA system, what it can do for your people and how it can help your business. It explains the background and theory to the system and the terminology used. It equips you with practical skills such as how to read a PPA profile, how to give feedback to candidates, how you can modify your behaviour to manage your team, how and when to use the assessments, the reports available and how your organisation can benefit from using them.

Each delegate receives a pre and post course tutorial for which a Thomas consultant will visit your offices. The consultant will go into more detail on how to use PPA and answer any specific questions you may have. Your consultant will also work with you on a regular basis to help and support you to use PPA for all aspects of the employee lifecycle, including recruitment, retention, development and management.

GIA/TST

This one day course will train you to administer Thomas' two aptitude and ability tests: Tests for Selection and Training (TST) and the General Intelligence Test (GIA). The course gives a detailed overview of the tests themselves: the administration, how they are scored and how to interpret scores, what they measure (e.g. fluid intelligence), their applications (history and development) and the benefits of using them. It also uses case studies to explore how the tests can be used to benchmark people in your organisation.
