Thorough training is fundamental to the success of any selection or development process. It is the assessors and interviewers who are responsible for ensuring the process operates smoothly and in the manner for which it was designed. We provide detailed training to help users of our products to apply them confidently and effectively. Details of our most popular training programmes have been set out below.

Cubiks Online Training

We often find that our clients require members of their administration team to be able to send out assessment invitations to candidates, even if they will not be responsible for the interpretation and scoring of the tests themselves. For this reason, we offer a short briefing session in how to use Cubiks Online system. This is a hands-on training course that enables delegates to practice using the system whilst in the company of an experienced user.

The session covers:
