Edu-Integral Aptitude tests provide supportive services to schools and psychologists that assists students with aspects such as choice of school (technical- or general school), subject choices, career choices, and specific advice in respect of the different tertiary courses and career opportunities available.
Services to psychologists
Private psychologists often feel that their valuable time is usurped by marketing, psychometrics and the writing of reports whilst their true value lies in supporting, advising and guiding their clients.
Edu-Integral makes it possible for psychologists to focus their sessions on the matter at hand without wasting long hours on the administration that usually accompanies these matters.
We provide the following services:
- Marketing
- Psychometrics and
- Reports
Referring of schools
Most schools already have their own psychologists that guide children in terms of school- and subject choices. In order to assist these psychologists in their assistance of learners, Edu-Integral takes on the responsibility of marketing psychometric testing on behalf of the school and its psychologists. We will also process evaluations quicker so that the psychologists can focus on integrating the information, making recommendations and providing feedback to the learners.
The information that is gathered from the evaluation will, with the permission of the client, be made available to the school psychologist free of charge.
Schools and psychologists requesting that Edu-Integral facilitate the testing on line or on their premises, should contact Edu-Integral directly to make the necessary arrangements
Should schools decide to make use of this service, but do not have their own psychologists on staff, they can request that Edu-Integral take full responsibility of the testing, interpretation, reports and recommendations by appointing an experience psychologists to the school for this specific purpose.
