Testimonials
The Right candidates
"The APS system has been absolutely fantastic for us. We had about 600 people take the test and have currently interviewed all of the “green” candidates using the APS interview material. I personally interviewed several and was blown away with the quality of individuals and the feedback from the field is extremely positive. We will likely go through another batch of application/entrance exams later in the year and have every intention of staying with the APS system."

Arizona Pipe Trades Apprenticeship, Training Director
Value and Ease of Use
"The convenience of it is night and day... With APS, I can test whenever I want, it's there whenever I need it. All I had to do was buy a couple of laptops. I'll be saving thousands of dollars over the next decade, and I have more control over when I test."

Insulators Local 42 JATC, Training Director
Trustee faith in the process
"We're 18 months in, and the JAC trusts the system more, now. The ones that they thought would score well based on working with them, really did do well in the selection process."

Instructor feedback about apprentices
"That's where we're seeing the most difference. There's a difference in the room. The guys want to be there, they have more mechanical aptitude."
Mike Schurr
Finishing Trades Institute Mid-Atlantic, Education Director
What advice would you give someone who is thinking about going with the Success Profile System?
"I would ask them why they wouldn't. I can't imagine why they wouldn't go with it. The cost is lower. Everything is laid out for you. There's no second-guessing. That RJP job preview video is something we haven't had before, and that's a huge asset."

Interview Effectiveness
"When I ask the [interview] questions and applicants answer them the way they're supposed to, it's an eye-opening experience for the trustees. It does work."
