Use cases for free skills assessments

The assessments are free and independent of any training sale. Here are real situations where a software skills diagnostic can support workplace decision-making.

Practical applications

Why use a skills diagnostic?

Pre-employment screening

Complement interviews and practical exercises with a knowledge test relevant to the software required for the role. Document criteria and obtain candidate consent.

Before training taken elsewhere

Set a baseline and identify subjects to share with your chosen instructor or learning provider.

After training taken elsewhere

Reassess knowledge to identify progress and areas that still need reinforcement.

New employee onboarding

Use an initial diagnostic to tailor onboarding resources and practice exercises.

Ongoing employee development

Identify specific needs to build a self-directed or internal learning plan.

Cross-functional teams

Assess the software used by each role and manually consolidate insights from individual reports.

Internal mobility

Identify software already understood and useful learning targets for a changing role.

Professional self-assessment

Let employees understand their level and discuss concrete priorities with a manager.

Recommended process

Steps to follow

  1. 1

    Define the decision or need the test should inform.

  2. 2

    Choose software that reflects actual job tasks.

  3. 3

    Inform participants and have them complete the free assessments.

  4. 4

    Interpret results in context; for pre/post reviews, compare skill areas rather than scores alone.

Good practices

Use results responsibly

The result reflects observed knowledge from a set of questions. Interpret it against actual work requirements; it does not replace a practical demonstration of job capability.

Important to know

  • Questions are selected randomly: two attempts are not identical examinations.
  • Reports are individual; automated cross-person analytics and a team dashboard are not provided.
  • In recruitment, a diagnostic is just one component and should never be the sole basis for a decision.
