Certification

The eTest Certification Course is offered free of charge to clients. It will provide managers, HR professionals and consultants with the background and insights to make full use of this platform, and to understand the different report options. It will also enable you to receive any or all of the additional supplementary reports (see below) at no charge for six months after course completion so that you can determine which ones work best for your purposes. Completion of the course also qualifies consultants to become eTest reseller partners.

eTest certification is a straightforward and self-paced process. It includes professional feedback and interpretation of your own results. The first step is a short online interview and discussion with one of the eTest professionals to provide more background and context for the course and to answer any questions you may have before beginning the process. After that discussion, you will be provided with the instructions and credentials to complete your assessment and to access the course material. Upon completion of the course, there will be another conversation with the eTest professional to recap and answer additional questions you may have.

The course covers the following material in depth:
