Post-Offer / Pre-Employment Testing
Onsite Seminar

Functional Employment Testing is a method to assist prospective employers in hiring, selecting, and maintaining worker fitness for the job. In addition to an employer's workplace safety program, this service is an effective and necessary part of a comprehensive disability prevention and disability management program.

Learn how to develop and perform functional Employment Testing in a standard clinical environment with a minimum investment in testing equipment. This two-day workshop instructs participants in how to identify a job's essential functions, as well as how to evaluate & document a new-hire's performance in those functions.

At the completion of the course you will receive 1.5 CEU’s (in most states).
