Microsoft IT Skills Assessments Made Easy

09/12/2010

Are you a Training or HR Manager who is looking for an effective way to assess the IT skills of staff within your company for training needs analysis (TNA) purposes....or perhaps you want to check that potential recruits to the company know as much about Microsoft Office as they claim on their CV? 

Assessing someone's IT skills can be extremely time consuming and using a paper questionnaire (that may not have been updated in years!) or giving the candidate an exercise to complete isn't always guaranteed to reflect a person's true ability.   Getting it wrong and paying for the wrong level of training or even hiring a new employee who turns out to need additional training once onboard is not a cost that can be borne by companies in today's competitive market

The www.skills-assessment.net site offers online skills assessment tests in various Microsoft Office applications including Excel, Access, Outlook, PowerPoint or Word.  The 20 minute (maximum) tests are in the form of fun multiple choice questions with questions randomly generated from a large database so that each test is different every time.  The results will give you the test score and also comparisons with others who have taken the test - both within your company and the wider world.  The results also specifically highlight any topics which need improvement so that you can focus on specific target areas where training is needed.

Visit the website above and you can try it out for free!  You don't need to download any software - it just takes just a couple of minutes to create an account  and no card or bank details are required until you choose to buy tests from as little as 99p each.
