Fields in which cApStAn has developed expertise in preparing multilingual and multicultural data collection and assessment instruments
In international training and certification programs, knowledge and skills need to be measured reliably.
Psychometric assessments that measure workforce skills are high-stakes instruments that require cross-cultural compatibility.
Multiregional or multicultural surveys rely on cross-cultural relevance to capture consumer experience.
The complexity of different interviewing modes requires a specialized translation process.
Surveys are sensitive to the language, culture and context of each surveyed community.
SEL skills assessments that are interactive and adaptive need a customized process to maximize fairness and validity.
