Assessing Ability and Personality in Organisations

Uniquely with Talent Q you do NOT have to first complete Level A before doing Level B. If you prefer, you can save time and cost, skip Level A and fast-track to do Level B.

Participants gain the key skills and knowledge needed to effectively use and administer ability tests in the workplace. Such tests include Verbal, Numerical and Logical reasoning tests that are widely used to support selection & recruitment as well as Learning & Development.

Automated External Defibrillator is a computerised device, which can:
• Analyse the heart rhythm of a person in cardiac arrest.
• Recognise a shockable rhythm.
• Advise the operator whether the rhythm should be shocked.
• Save many Lives, if used within minutes of an arrest.

Facts about the AED:
• Today the new generation of defibrillator's AED’s make it possible for trained lay rescuers to deliver defibrillation.
• Having lay rescuers equipped with AED’s in settings where large numbers of people congregate saves precious minutes and improves survival rates for cardiac arrest victims. It can increase survival rates to as high as 50%
• Facilities such as large office complexes, gated communities, sports arenas, concert halls, can benefit from obtaining AED’s and training employees to use them as part of a public access defibrillation program (PAD)
• The Irish Heart Foundation / American Heart Association strongly encourages establishing a PAD program as an important way to save lives of thousands of cardiac victims.
