WorkKeys® Listening

Listening is an essential component of many modern jobs. The Listening assessment measures the ability to convey factual information from spoken messages. The style and grammar of the written message is not considered.

The KeyTrain course builds listening skills through a variety of interactive exercises which involve the interpretation of numerous recorded sound clips. These clips include over a dozen different voices of varying characteristics.

Each topic highlights a different component of effective listening. Some of these topics include preparing to listen effectively, following directions, listening for details, signal words, interpretation, and critical listening. The ability to understand various speaking styles, accents and speeds is tested using recorded passages.
