OAI Certification FAQ

Who should attend OAI Certification?

The OAI Certification workshop is designed for HR professionals, talent managers, and I/O practitioners who want to conduct OAI-based candidate assessments and behavioral interviews internally, rather than outsourcing to PPI consultants.

What does the two-day OAI Certification workshop cover?

Day one focuses on OAI development, research foundations, and the characteristics of culturally adaptable professionals, with individual profiles reviewed for each participant. Day two covers behavioral interview techniques and practice with sample candidate profiles.

Do participants need to complete the OAI before attending?

Yes. All participants complete the OAI assessment prior to the workshop, and their individual profiles are reviewed as part of the day one curriculum.
