We want our customers to be sure that the products they’re choosing to grow their people, have been developed using sound psychological principles and methodology.

This means when you complete an evaluator you can be assured that the dedicated research and development teams have rigorously tested the validity and reliability of the model and continue to support excellence in the Learning and Development community.
