Skill-Based Assessments
Self-Assessment Doesn’t Work!
It's difficult for an individual to assess their own technology skills… their qualification as a beginner, intermediate or advanced user are often based on the context in which they've used the tool. They may have been a whiz at mail merge in their last company, but can't format a long document with columns and sections. They may have done pivotables galore but take forever to clean up data or can't create a chart.
Using a skill-based assessment tool can provide a good understanding of technology experience based on a more objective scale.
Why Skills-Based Assessment?
We prefer skill-based assessments that ask the user to actually DO the thing rather than answer multiple choice questions that are often more dependent on knowledge of WHAT things are called rather than how to do them properly.
These tests have been created by a verified testing organization and the questions have been vetted by a Microsoft Certified Trainer.
The goal is to identify skills and gaps so you can determine if they would meet your job needs or if they may need more training in order to be proficient.
Doing vs. Knowing
For example, did you know the toolbar in the upper left corner of the any Microsoft 365 program is called a Quick Access Toolbar? If you didn't, you might not get that question correct on a knowledge-based assessment. But when the skills based assessment asks you to click on the undo button, you go right to it - located in the Quick Access Toolbar.
