Suitability diagnostics

Technical assessment center for future network managers, dispatchers and operators at all voltage levels

We offer the Technical Assessment Center (TAC) as a two-day process for aptitude diagnostic testing of applicants (personnel selection). With the help of standardized tests, behavioral observations and a simulation exercise, we support you in your personnel selection decision.

The process is tailored to the requirements of network management employees. Experience shows that training them takes around 2 years due to their specificity. A reliable and valid personnel selection decision saves you valuable resources (time and money). We use an empirically collected requirements profile as a basis. The selection decision is therefore not based on a gut decision, but on suitability characteristics that are critical to success.
