Why do this course?

This is the best known of the Big Five personality questionnaires.  Seen as a marker in the field, it breaks the Big Five personality factors down into 30 underlying facets designed to provide a much more detailed picture of a person’s personality style.  Combining a well-researched over-arching structure together with the underlying level of detail it is a rich source of description and ideas for understanding people.

What is involved?

There is pre-course work accessible online allowing sufficient familiarisation for you to be able to achieve British Psychological Society (BPS) and the European Federation of Psychological Associations (EFPA) certificates of competence in just two days.  The two face-to-face contact days are very practical and provide an excellent opportunity to practice giving and receiving feedback in small groups managed by an experienced tutor.  You get a chance to see others managing the same process in very different ways which makes it an invaluable learning experience that cannot be rivalled with online alternatives.

Who will be your tutors on the course?

This course will be led by Roy Childs who has years of experience of using many different questionnaires in a wide range of situations.  Roy is verified to qualify people in a wider range of personality questionnaires than anyone else in the UK and is also a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, Consultant Editor for the BPS Test Review process and a BPS Verifier for this level of course.
