PsyAsia Training Courses in Asia
Please see our main site and it's training pages for full details.

PsyAsia International runs professional training courses in the areas of human resource management, general management and employee selection and development. The majority of these courses are facilitated by experienced organizational psychologists who bring an understanding of the psychology of the workplace in addition to HRM issues and who comply with a code of ethics and competence. Some courses are led by non-psychologists, yet experienced trainers who have worked in a human resource management capacity and are now involved in training and consultancy in this important area. The following provides an introduction to the courses that we are most frequently involved in. However, please contact us should there be a specific-area of workplace psychology/human resource management that you currently require that is not mentioned here.

Apollo Profile Accreditation. Run by PsyAsia's organizational psychologists over one or two days (depending on previous experience) to ensure users of the Apollo Profile are competent and confident to administer the test, interpret the results and use the results professionally and ethically as part of the decision-making process in selection or as part of the development cycle

Assessment & Development Centres. PsyAsia's three-day Assessment and Development Centre Course provides delegates with a grounding in the assessment centre methodology. The final day is reserved for delegates to design, manage, participate in and assess within a full assessment centre.

Behavior Based Interviewing Workshop. The interview is a common tool for employee selection. However, many interviewers have never been trained and it has long been recognised that there is little intra- and inter-rater reliability (consistency) where traditional non-structured interviews are utilised. This two-day workshop provides busy recruitment agency staff, selection panels and line management with tools for increasing the objectivity and standardisation of interviews.

Human Resource Management. PsyAsia is proud to offer a full Human Resource Management Course that follows the complete 'HR Cycle'. This course can be delivered in its entirety (and this is the recommended option because previous modules draw on subsequent ones) or on a per module basis when presented as an in-house course. There are a total of 10 modules. The complete 10-module course is available as a public course in Hong Kong and Singapore

Identity Questionnaire Accreditation. Run by PsyAsia's organizational psychologists over one or two days (depending on previous experience) to ensure users of the Identity Questionnaire are competent and confident to administer the test, interpret the results and use the results professionally and ethically as part of the decision-making process in selection or as part of the development cycle

Interview & Other Skills for Job Applicants. Many job applicants have the knowledge, skills, attitude, experience and competencies to undertake a job that is on offer. However, they are not gifted in the art of demonstrating this to selection panels. This one-day event assists job applicants of any age and experience in preparing for the selection process and ensuring that they convey their skills to the panel.

Managing Conflict at Work. Workplaces are full of conflict. Conflict occurs between team members, between those of different teams and departments, between management and lower level staff and between the front-line and the external environment - the client/customer. This one-day event tackles conflict and provides attendees with a toolbox of skills for reducing, managing and negotiating conflict.

Interpersonal and Organizational Communication. This one-day course aims to provide delegates with a greater understanding of the importance of effective communication for both internal and external organizational success. More effective communication results in increased productivity and team commitment as well as enhanced customer service.

Performance Appraisal. This course is aimed at managers, supervisors and those who are responsible for and conduct performance appraisals. Delegates learn how to devise the competency framework for the appraisal based on a job analysis, how to design appraisal forms and questions, and how to avoid appraisals which are ultimately meaningless due to endorsement of middle responses. Effective appraisal interviewing and feedback to appraisees is also covered.

Psychometric Test Administration. PsyAsia's one-day Psychometric Test Administration Course provides delegates with the ability to understand and competently practice the administration of ability and personality assessments in organizational settings.

Psychometric Assessment at Work: Level A. This course provides the foundations to the competent and effective use of psychometric tests at work. At this level, particular reference is made to Ability Tests. The course leads to the fulfillment of the requirements for the British Psychological Society Level A Certificate of Competence in Occupational Testing.

Psychometric Assessment at Work: Level B. Building upon Level A, this 3 day course focuses on the competent administration, scoring, interpretation and reporting/feedback of Personality Assessments for selection and development. The course leads to the fulfillment of the requirements for the British Psychological Society Level B (Intermediate) Certificate of Competence in Occupational Testing.

Stress Management at Work. This two-day course containing 8 units is facilitated by a registered organizational psychologist with a diploma specifically in Stress Management Training. Delegates learn how to effectively manage stress at work by exploring both thought-based processes in stress, as well as relaxation techniques. Includes psychometric assessment of personality.
