Would you like to have a fulfilling, interesting, and enriching career in psychology? 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.
Peakminds offers two courses to develop your knowledge and hands-on skills in psychometry.
- The first course teaches theoretical knowledge in the science of psychometry. The foundational 6-week online psychometry course covers a range of concepts, including test administration, scoring, interpretation, psychometric statistics, writing, and more. You may apply to the internship course after completing this first course. Register to begin in February 2026.
- The second practical internship 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 USA. This internship training is designed to equip you with invaluable hands-on skills and build your competence and confidence. This course will commence in January 2026.
This unique educational offering bridges your interest and education in psychology with real-life skills and the potential to gain additional opportunities or employment in various settings.
