Public Sector Aptitude Test

Skillsarena has extensive experience working alongside the public sector, with Government and educational bodies regularly using the software to ensure they are following equal opportunities guidelines by setting the same test for each candidate.

In our experience, public sector organisations benefit from the Microsoft Office training, aptitude testing and the UK clerical assessments as well as the MS Office suite and Create Your Own to address industry focused guidelines and compliance audit trails.

The testing can be delivered in a variety of formats, either in-house or remotely. This flexibility overcomes geographical boundaries and eliminates discriminatory practices. Both methods deliver instant results that can be downloaded, adapted and retained for future analysis.

For the last few years Skillsarena has been working alongside Newham Council; one of London's largest councils and a host borough for 2012.

"I discovered Skillsarena from a previous employment role and was so impressed with their services that I wanted to implement them within my new job role at Newham Council.

"We have now been working with them since December 2007 and as my job focus is on getting the unemployed community back in to the work place, our clientele are extremely diverse.  As Skillsarena's tests are non-discriminate, accessible 24/7 over the internet and can accommodate different methods of learning, they were perfect for the situations we use them in.

"We have a strong relationship with Skillsarena who used their expertise to create specific tests for different job roles and also adapted and reacted to the changing requirements that we are facing in the change as the economic climate and also the impending Olympic operations."
