“I greatly appreciated the trainer’s presentation style and demeanor. The content was clear and precise, and the trainer was both supportive and pedagogical. I am very satisfied with this training, which allowed me to deepen my knowledge of interpreting RIASEC test results.”

“For several years, I have been using Holland’s RIASEC test with my clients in career assessment. I find it to be a particularly valuable tool. When I discovered Philippe Chevrette’s AFC Holland test, I immediately connected with its approach and results. However, I lacked the proper training to develop deeper expertise. This training day provided me with all the necessary knowledge to effectively use the test and interpret results for my clients. The morning session covered theoretical aspects, followed by an afternoon dedicated to analyzing multiple practical cases. The trainer answered our questions with clarity. I highly recommend this training to career assessment professionals—it provides valuable expertise and professional insight. A real asset!”

«I particularly enjoyed the one-day training course (European version) on AFC Holland’s RIASEC test, led by Bernadette Crepel, a highly skilled trainer. Although I was already familiar with the test, her clear and accessible explanations helped me to better understand certain aspects and shed light on some gray areas. The training was interactive and punctuated by numerous concrete cases and real-life examples, thus facilitating the appropriation of the tool and the interpretation of the results. I didn’t think that in a single day we could acquire such a precise and operational vision of the test! Using AFC Holland’s RIASEC test in my career counseling sessions with young people and adults undergoing career transitions, I am convinced of its relevance as a basis for discussion to explore their motivations and refine their choices. A big thank you to the whole team for this enriching training! »

An insightful training that I highly recommend to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of this model!”

“A clear and well-structured training that helps us fully understand the nuances of the test and how to interpret it. The case studies are varied and highly relevant to our practice.”

“The day went by very quickly! Our trainer is attentive and shares her experience in a very relevant way. The test is very user-friendly and easy to use: it will be a valuable additional tool for supporting my clients’ skills assessments. In order to offer a service that truly meets the needs of the people I support, I was looking for reliable, recognised and regularly updated tools, and that is certainly the case here. I suggest taking the free test before the training course to gain a better understanding of how it works, which I did not do.”

“The AFC Holland training met all my expectations: it was well-structured, simple, and clear. Such an effective training session! Excellent ability to simplify complex topics and make them easy to understand. Kudos and thank you!”

Steve Proulx

“What a comprehensive and relevant training! I now feel confident and excited to use the AFC Holland test with my clients, whether they are exploring their educational options, considering a career change, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. As the creator of this test, Philippe has a natural ability to convey the essential details of each section with ease and attentiveness to the understanding of every group member. The four profiles, based on the RIASEC typology, are presented in a way that highlights the nuances between professional interests, sense of competence, personality traits, and workplace happiness. The test’s interpretation report, both detailed and accessible, fosters meaningful discussions with clients, helping them clarify or confirm their preferences related to professional fields. By the end of the training, numerous role-playing scenarios demonstrate how to communicate the interpretation report while actively involving the client in their process. I also want to thank the team for being so approachable and supportive with any questions following the training. A big thank you!”

Véronique Forget

“The training on the AFC Holland test proved to be very comprehensive and enriching. The case studies presented were particularly relevant for better understanding and deepening the interpretation of the results. The trainer, who was committed and clearly an expert in his field, made the content accessible and stimulating. The questions asked throughout the session provided useful clarifications and clarified certain key points. I also greatly appreciated the discussion on the differences observed between various populations (Quebecers, English-speaking Canadians, French and Belgians), which contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the tool. Finally, the fact that the training is free and so comprehensive is a major advantage. An excellent experience that I highly recommend to any professional interested in using the AFC Holland test.”
