Prevue Assessment
It has been said that hiring a person is like buying a new house. You decide in the first 4 minutes on an emotional basis, then spend the rest of the interview (house tour) rationalizing what you emotionally decided to do anyway… Why Assessments? This can be expensive to all involved, the candidate who doesn’t fit in, the organisation and the hiring manager – whose judgement is now questioned.
The cost of bringing the wrong person on board is sometimes huge… With the aid of assessment tools, this subjective decision making process can be avoided, focusing your decision on the fundamental question – is the person suitably matched to the job at hand.
Whether using assessment tools as a recruitment and selection tool, identifying training objectives, measuring resilience to stress, identifying leadership style or choosing a career, the technology exists to assist you in this critical decision making process.

Through Futuristic Training and Development, a range of products and solutions are made available to you for new ways to support mentoring initiatives.
The Learning Revolution
Learning is far too important not to be taken seriously. We ensure the transfer of knowledge back into the workplace. All training modules are practical, enabling the delegate to learn and experience simultaneously. We use role-plays, case studies, games and gadgets, along with visual presentation, to escalate growth . . . after all, there is no learning without laughter.
Business documents are the personality of any organisation. We need to ensure that we are delivering the message to our target audience using a friendly tone, genuine enthusiasm and energy. Writing business documents can prove challenging in today’s business environment. Being aware of the most acceptable Business English principles will ensure that all documents are written competently and sensitively. Become confident and professional with effective and practical writing skills.
