Profiling, determining competence and vocational orientation

Ascertaining competence through extensive tests is a cornerstone of successful career orientation.

For the success of training or to properly fill a job vacancy, now more than ever it is crucial whether the applicant’s competencies correspond to the requirements of the career or job.  

It is therefore essential for both economic reasons (to avoid dropping out of training or incorrectly filling vacancies) as well as from personal and social aspects, to determine social and methodological competencies, knowledge and the abilities of applicants. Together with individual interests and propensities, the resultant personality profiles enable a sound vocational orientation or form a basis for filling jobs.  

Against this background, the bbw Group has developed a comprehensive bundle of test measures for various age groups and life phases. The portfolio for competence tests includes:

• Web-based self-tests to determine interests and propensities Tests aimed at ascertaining inherent competence (specialist, social, methodical)
• Practical tests designed around vocational orientation for pupils
• Online tests to document skills and competence and compare these with the requirement profiles of various careers so as to filter out to determine individual suitability
• Tests to estimate individual learning types and learning patterns
• Multilingual tests to record knowledge and practical experience  

For many years the bbw Group has been utilising these recognised test methods developed by psychologists and practitioners nationwide in schools, companies as well as in job placement. The experience gleaned in this way is continually incorporated in refining the tests.  

Test results always require interpretation. Consequently, many experts and trainers are trained in the bbw Group to discuss the results with participants and offer them helpful tips for their future career.  

Diverse license models for software use as well as training courses for certified test managers are offered as part of international projects. Customers include training institutions, schools and companies.
