Assessment Tests
Training an employee is not "one size fits all." It is important to understand what your employees and students already know before you begin a training program.
This is why Tooling U offers a range of Assessment Tests. Each assessment test is a comprehensive multiple-choice exam that requires approximately 1-3 hours to complete. After an assessment is completed, an Administrator receives a custom skills gap analysis tailored specifically to that student. Companies implementing multiple assessments can also receive a corporate-wide skills gap analysis.
Listed below are the assessments currently available. Custom assessments are available upon request.
