THOMAS INTERNATIONAL PPA CERTIFICATION TRAINING

Hosted by one of our expert trainers, this online accreditation course will teach you everything you need to know to confidently use the Personal Profile Analysis (PPA), a psychometric assessment used to understand how people behave in the workplace.

Within this course, there will be also focus on Team Audit.

The Thomas Team Audit System allows an organization to identify the ideal team culture, assess an actual team culture and provide a gap analysis in terms of behavioural and role fit shortfall. It also assesses every team member against the team culture. Its unique strength is that the system gets to the root cause of team problems in hours rather than months. Team Audit helps you developing existing teams and assuring the right selection of individuals for the formation of new ones.

The PPA-based and Team Audit reports enable individuals and teams to align with the business, understand how each person and each team work, the strengths and limitations and the roles each individual plays to optimize on the contribution of the various team members. The user has tools to quickly analyze anyone within the organization or a team they manage and generate a very comprehensive report in minutes.
