If you are affected by the Selection of Employees for Retention or Lay-off (SERLO) process,

written communication and multiple-choice tests
online and classroom written exams
in-baskets and simulations
assessment centres
presentation skills exercises
resumé and cover letter screening
assessment qualifications written submissions
locally developed tools usage
structured interviews and reference checks.
Our study kits and coaching programs help clients with the exercises that will be used in the SERLO process. We understand government assessment methods: we have helped more than 11,000 people, in an array of classifications, in competitions from entry to EX-03 levels over the last 25 years.
