What is MAP Assessment?

MAP Assessment (formerly known as Managerial Assessment of Proficiency) is a management assessment tool which has been successfully used by over 13,000 managers in the UK, and over 150,000 worldwide.

MAP Assessment provides accurate assessments based on individual manager’s true managerial competence. This has been independently validated and a full validation report is available on request.

MAP Assessment is fast becoming the management assessment and development system chosen by organisations because it is the only objective tool that measures the competence of managers. It is not influenced or affected by any personal opinions or prior knowledge, making MAP Assessment truly objective.
