Post Offer/Pre Employment Testing Certification Training Course

Our Post Offer/Pre Employment Testing Certification Course is designed for professionals who are looking to implement or expand their knowledge in performing legally defensible pre-placement and post-offer testings/screenings. This is the only training course in which you will go on-site at a local company, perform an on-site job analysis, create a job description, and design a post offer employment test in class! The course teaches the latest ADAAA, EEOC, Civil Rights Law, supreme court precedent, and provides research to help you design legally defensible POETs and fit-for-duty tests.

I have taken several courses with OccuPro over the years. Having the course material and being able to revisit it online when I need to is the MAJOR differentiator from other competitors and other systems.

I like the laid back discussions and small group interactions. I was able to learn a lot from everyone in the classroom. I was able to implement the research from the class into my practice right away.
