Dates, Costs and Application Information

Assessment date for 2010

• August 16-19

When the assessment begins and when it ends:

Candidates register on Monday from 11-11:30 a.m., lunch follows at 11:30 a.m., and the opening session of the assessment center begins at 12:30 p.m. The assessment concludes by 11:30 a.m. on Thursday.  Assessors begin with training on Monday at 9:00 a.m. Lunch is provided on Monday, but not on Thursday (you may purchase a ticket for Thursday lunch at the Kraft Center Registration Desk if you desire).

Overall cost:

• $1,000 for the candidate and spouse (if married) includes housing, meals, assessment inventories/instruments and counseling.  This does NOT include transportation to and from the conference.

• $100/person scholarship is available for candidates and their spouses if they are traveling more than 400 miles from the conference center.

• $100 late fee if registration is made later than 30 days before assessment.

• $300 fee if there is no assessor (no sending agency).

• $325 cancelation fee (to cover the expenses of the pre-testing), but this may be transferred to a future assessment date.

• $28 shuttle service (per person each way) from Appleton airport or $112 per couple, round trip.

• There is no charge for the assessor, sent by the sending agent, but he or she must provide transportation to and from the assessment.

• Cost for “Observers”:  $480/person single occupancy or $300/person double occupancy.  Includes room and meals. 

Children and the assessment:

Because the assessment is extremely intense and in view of the fact that the assessment is of both the candidate and the spouse, it is strongly recommended that children not come with the parents. We suggest a candidate/couple have a grandparent, family member or close friend care for your children at home.

The candidate’s spouse:

The spouse is “required” to come along (there are some rare exceptions).

• Type of credit card
