Saville Consulting WaveŽ
Training - Wave Module
Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Australia
The Saville Consulting
Wave Module Training is a 2-day workshop
for clients who do not currently hold the
BPS
Level 2 Personality Test User qualification
or a certification in a substantive personality
assessment. After the course, delegates
will be qualified to use the Saville
Consulting Wave Test. However, additional
training will be required should delegates
wish to use Saville Consulting Aptitude
Tests (please see BPS
Level 2: Aptitude Test User Training).
For clients who already hold a qualification
in a substantive personality assessment
such as OPQ32, 16PF, 15FQ+ or HPI (not
MBTI, DiSC, Harrison Assessments
etc.), you may attend a one-day Saville
Consulting Wave Conversion Course rather
than this two-day course.
Saville Wave Module

courses designed by Saville Consulting
and presented by PsyAsia. These training
courses are developed with 3 things

The course is for those
who do not have a qualification a a
substantive personality assessment and
who would like to use the most revolutionary
personality assessment tool of the 21st
century developed by the father of 21st
century psychometrics, Professor Peter
Saville.

"Informative, relevant
to work, knowledgeable facilitator"
Danny
Hay Group
"Good introduction to the tool
and practical session was useful"
Geraldyn Fong
Managing Consultant (Psychologist)
Hudson Global Resources, Singapore
"Insightful and informative. The
methodology behind the Saville Consulting
Wave Report is light years ahead of other
psychometric tests yet it is a breeze to
use! The interface between motives, competencies
and culture is exactly the missing link
that recruiters are looking for."
Diana Yeo
Ministry of Defence, Singapore
"A highly practical and enjoyable
approach to the application of an extremely
useful tool for selection and development
- well worth the investment, highly recommended."
Neville Pearsall
Director HR
RMIT International University, Vietnam
"This is certainly a good
course. The research rigor behind the instrument
is impressive. While Graham's mandate was
tough (in terms of time available) he covered
enough aspects and invoked enough curiosity
to learn more offline."
Rajen Makhijani
Associate Principal
Heidrick & Struggles Leadership Consulting
"Good coverage and balance
between the theory behind the tool and the
practical application aspects. I enjoyed
that there was a lot of focus on the feeback
session - not all just technical interpretations."

We also asked our delegates what
they liked best about the training...here
are some sample responses:
A technically sound model presented
by a extremely competent professional with
a solid approach to practical application.
The practical exercises.
The practice sessions helped us understand
the feedback session better. The immediate
feedback we received helped even more.
You are busy and want value for money
