Qualifications of a Test Administrator

The SHRM Assessment Center is designed for professionals who use tests and assessment products in their work. Since these instruments have differing qualifications for use, registered users are assigned a User Qualification Level based on their education, training and experience.


About User Qualification Levels

Although the SHRM Assessment Center does distribute some Level D (Non-controlled) instruments that are available without specific qualification, most of the business-related and human resource products are Level C instruments.


User Qualification Levels:

  • Level D (Non-controlled Instruments)

    Individuals with a demonstrated need for testing as part of their professional role (i.e., athletic coaches, trainers, motivational speakers) but without formal training.


  • Level C

    Membership in a professional organization requiring training and experience in the use of tests or surveys; or

    Bachelor's degree in psychology or related discipline (i.e., counseling, education, human resources, nursing, organizational development, personnel, social work, training) and coursework in the use of test assessments; or

    Equivalent training under auspices of a reputable organization focused on test assessments; or

    Certification by an organization with similar proficiency requirements; or

    Demonstrated experience in use of test assessments as part of career professional role.
