The Personnel Psychology Centre (PPC) is a division of the Public Service Commission of Canada. PPC staff are highly-trained and experienced professionals who know the public sector.
Quality
PPC assessment instruments are developed according to strict professional standards and are supported by extensive research. We design them to be objective, accurate, efficient, and fair. They are also excellent predictors of job performance.
Designed for all levels
PPC assessment instruments and services include multiple-choice tests and work sample instruments, such as in-basket exercises and simulations. General assessment and the assessment of administrators, managers and leaders give you valuable information about individuals at all levels.
Flexible
The PPC continually renews and diversifies its products to anticipate your needs. This means our products and services are very flexible. It also means we can customize assessments to meet your unique needs.
Fast turnaround on scoring
The PPC has a 48 hour scoring service. You get results for machine-scored tests usually within 2 days; those requiring hand- scoring are usually ready within a few days. You get your results quickly so that you can make decisions quickly.
Low cost
PPC assessment instruments and services are competitively priced. Many are free for use within the Federal Public Service.
Consultation services
PPC consultation services help you:
- identify and define the essential competencies of any position or person in your organization;
