Testimonials
Octavia
Cohort 1
“This psychoeducational assessment course was an exceptional learning experience. The lecturers were knowledgeable, engaging, and supportive, making the content both informative and enjoyable.
I particularly appreciated the practical tutorials, which gave us hands on experience using the assessment tools and helped build my confidence in applying what I had learned. The practicum experience was also invaluable, providing an opportunity to put the knowledge and skills into practice in a real world setting.
I am really grateful for the quality of training and the expertise of the lecturers and guest lecturers. This course has equipped me with the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence I need to conduct psychoeducational assessments professionally. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their skills in psychoeducational assessment. Shout out to Dr Kai and her team for putting this programme together.”

Cohort 1
“The psychoeducational course presented by KAHLE PsychAssociates/JAMPsych/JTS was second to none. This programme afforded us a world-class education from industry leaders within the field of Psychology and Developmental Medicine.
One of the things I appreciated about the programme was that it provided us with a holistic approach to assessment administration. We were taught to not merely go through the scales, but to look at the total individual ensuring that the services we provide meet specific needs for optimum support and accommodations. It also heightened my diagnostic skills as I was taught how to properly investigate and ask the right questions to gain a comprehensive client profile.
I am now a more thorough and competent clinician because of my experience in this course; it was worth every penny.”
