Laurence was born in Belgium and spent his formative years in Cape Town. South African issues such as fairness and appropriate test use are very important to him. He received his tertiary education in Belgium and the UK, and holds a Master's degree from the University of Sheffield. The Psytech tests and questionnaires are psychological instruments. As such, they can only be used under the supervision of a registered psychologist.
Training is, however, available and can be arranged on an in-house basis for companies.
Psytech SA also plans to arrange open courses for professionals on the use of its tests. There is no annual license fee to cover support and research. Basic research is done free of charge as part of our service, provided that the results can be disseminated to other users of Psytech instruments. Setup costs are kept to a minimum, in that we have a low-cost version of the test administration software, and are prepared to sell small numbers of test booklets and answer sheets at a time. We also sell scoring credits in small numbers to customers who prefer to order a little at a time.
