An assessment tool to assist

  About the App    
 
    This App is web-based which means it can be accessed on any device with a Browser and where there is connectivity.  There is no tracking code or the like within this App.

If you have set up a Login, you will be able to collaborate in real time with anyone to whom you have provided your URL.  This experience can be further enhanced with the use of video (or just audio) conferencing.  		 
  Creating a login    
 
    The App can be used without a login but you won't be able to save anything (particularly useful for the Self Assessment component). You can create as many logins as you like but make sure you Bookmark (or save to Homescreen) any version you want to go back to because there is no way of ever retrieving that Login.

There are three components of the login, your name, today's date and a 5 digit random number.

  Introduction  
  This section is not for access by clients. It is exclusively for use by the assessor or mentor in getting a better understanding of their client and her strengths and weaknesses.

Neither is it a decision making tool for assessment but rather a means of ascertaining key information for use in the decision making process.

  Weightings      
    The personal attributes sought in the responses to questions 1 to 27, are not all of equal importance.  Furthermore, their importance may vary depending on the nature of the business and circumstance.  For this reason we have provided the ability for the assessor to be able to change the weighting from the default.
