BPS Level A & B Training has changed
On 5th September 2011, the British Psychological Society (BPS) launched a new approach to test user certification and registration, in line with standards of competence outlined by the European Federation of Psychologists' Associations (EFPA).
The revised test user standards are the result of extensive consultation with trainers and assessors, and benefit from input from experts across Europe.
Further information about the changes to training and the new register can be found on the following two document links:
- Information about the launch of the BPS revised standards >
- BPS (PTC) communication on new register August 2011 >
From Autumn 2011, all of TalentLens' courses that lead to the BPS's qualifications in test use will have been redesigned to meet the new BPS test user standards.

Division of Occupational Psychology 2011
Our team presented recent development work at the British Psychological Society's Division of Occupational Psychology Conference, 2011.
Paul Smith of the Talent Assessment Team presented work on Situational Judgement Methodology. The presentation focused on how TalentLens have furthered the Situational Judgement Methodology as well as potential issues faced in the design of content for off the shelf use during recruitment sifting.
The presentation was called the 'Development of Situational Judgement Test content for off the shelf application' which was part of the symposium Designing Better Situational Judgement Tests: Methodologies and Research.
With more than 3,500 members, the Division of Occupational Psychology is one of the largest divisions of the British Psychological Society. The Annual Conference was a three-day event held in a different UK venue each year. To find out more about the 2011 conference visit www.bps.org.uk/dop2011.
