Dr. Dan Biddle, CEO of Biddle Consulting Group, led a team through the content validation process for Breining Institute’s entry level and advanced level addiction counselor certifications. These certifications, often required by an employer, verify the counselor applicant’s knowledge, skills, and abilities to do the job.
“The importance of going through a validation process, like the one we modeled here, is really twofold. The first is to make sure that the most important parts of the job are going to be represented on the test. The second is to make sure that the skills and qualifications of the applicants are going to be measured in the most uniform way possible. The employers who use a test that has gone through a validation process, like the one we used here, can be assured that the applicants who are licensed or credentialed possess the skills and abilities necessary to do a great job on the first day of employment.” Dr. Dan Biddle, Ph.D.
