Information on 73325 and 73326

If you study 73326 Personality and Individual Differences and 73325 Psychological Assessment, and need to purchase tests as part of your employment, you can be considered for test user registration with the New Zealand Council for Educational Research (NZCER). This may give you access to mental health and behavioural tests used in specialised fields.

If you study 73325 Psychological Assessment you must attend a full day workshop in either Auckland or Wellington. Further details of these will be advised by your course tutor.
