Course Description
As the third class in the HR Academy series, this day and a half Exam Development and Administration course explores the value and benefit of effective selection. It is expected that students have attended the Job Analysis class of the Human Resource Academy. Consequently, there is only a refresher on job analysis for selection purposes. This class allows students to learn and practice the development of structured oral examination questions and rating guides, written exam questions, job simulation and performance exercises as well as training and experience evaluation. The course provides an overview of other less frequently used testing instruments, such as assessment centers, biodata and psychological tests. Participants discuss exam administration issues, and instructors provide handy checklists of issues to consider when administering an exam. The course also covers the importance of providing a thorough orientation for structured oral exam panel members. Students practice by designing an oral panel orientation.
