Why choose ACER?

Worldwide recognised assessment expertise

ACER Psychology understands and respects that different organisations have different assessment needs. ACER Psychology consultants take the time to listen to and understand your particular situation and suggest assessment solutions that will help.  No other organisation in Australia can boast the same level of assessment expertise. From the CEO down, our staff include worldwide recognised authorities in the field of assessment. In fact, some of our staff have been invited to offer assessment advice to bodies such as the OECD, World Bank and the United Nations, while our own products are now used by test agencies around the world.

High quality products

ACER Psychology has a real commitment to producing and distributing quality assessment products. Our customers can feel confident that every product available has been reviewed by a panel of assessment experts before being included in our range.

Value for money

ACER Psychology has developed a ‘fair pricing policy’ offering high quality products and services at reasonable prices, which means great value for you.

Supporting an Australian business

ACER is an Australian organisation, enjoying local and international success. Despite stiff competition from overseas owned companies, we have continued to grow and employ more people. Our profits stay in Australia and help to fund ACER projects aimed at increasing learning standards in Australian schools, TAFES and universities.

At ACER you will find an unwavering commitment to best practice assessment products and services.
Working to the highest standards has earned ACER a reputation and level of respect, which are the envy of our competitors.

Genuine choice

Our customer research has told us that people appreciate having product choice. Accordingly, we have provided a genuine choice of products to choose from to meet your particular assessment need. Unlike some companies, we don’t restrict our range to our own brand of assessments. Every year, we search the world for the latest and best products available.

Satisfied customers

Our clinicians have enjoyed the clinic-based support sessions ACER provides after the purchase of psychometric tests. We were given free training in our workplace by an experienced Educational Psychologist to ensure we gained confidence with the administration and scoring in a friendly small group setting. The ACER administration and sales team have also been exceptionally supportive. Our clinic relies on the ACER Educational Psychologists to answer all our psychometric queries on a regular basis over the phone or email. Our clinicians value the ACER psychologists as an accessible source of knowledge for any assessment or diagnostic question.
