Psychometrist Course

Would you like a fulfilling, engaging, and enriching career in psychology? Ready for a career change? Or eager to transition to interesting part-time work in retirement? A psychometrist career offers exciting opportunities for those just starting out -- or those seeking meaningful, flexible work in their later years.

Peakminds offers a professional training program to learn the skills of a psychometrist, also referred to as a psychometrician, who has specialized skills in the administration of psychological tests.  Psychometrists work under the supervision of licensed psychologists and neuropsychologists in hospitals, schools, universities, research labs, and private clinics as a team member who assists in assessment services.  Evaluations cover cognitive, educational, and psychological tests for children and adults.

We offer several courses to further develop your knowledge and hands-on skills in psychometry:  

  • The foundational psychometry course covers a range of concepts, including test administration, scoring, interpretation, psychometric statistics, writing, and more.  You may apply to the practical course after completing this first course.  Register to begin on February 3, 2026, for live instruction or start your On-Demand E-Learning  Psychometry Course Today. Completion of either course will make you eligible to apply for the practical course (next step).
  • The second practical course provides students with opportunities to observe, practice, and administer psychometric instruments in person.  The internship is a 12-week practical training course, which involves hands-on training in our physical offices in Canada and the USA.  This internship training is designed to equip you with invaluable hands-on skills and build your competence and confidence.  This course will commence on February 2, 2026 (Foundational course must be completed prior to this).

Registration is now open for our next offering of the Live Lecture Psychometrist Course.

Starting February 3, 2026 (Evening)
