It is aimed at those who might be conducting SFIA assessments (whether in their own area of expertise or across the entire SFIA framework), those who might benefit from including SFIA assessment techniques in other contexts (e.g. recruiters), and those who need a good understanding of the assessment process (e.g. HR managers).

Learning Objectives: Assess professional skills against the SFIA framework; Understand different types of assessment; Prepare an effective agenda and questions; Describe the role of the assessor; Be aware of a range of questioning techniques; Conduct an effective assessment following an agreed agenda; Deal with common issues that may occur in assessments.

Prerequisites: Successful completion of the Understanding SFIA course (or SFIA ‘foundation’ level training and SFIA Practitioner training), or a good working knowledge of SFIA is a requirement for all participants.

Many participants have benefited from attending the SFIA Deep Dive course to raise their understanding of the activities and skills in the SFIA framework.

This course is recommended for those looking to become accredited as a SFIA Assessor or SFIA Auditor.
