Why choose ACER?

Worldwide recognised assessment expertise

ACER HR understands and respects that different organisations have different assessment needs. ACER HR consultants take the time to listen to and understand your particular situation and suggest assessment solutions that will help.  No other organisation in Australia can boast the same level of assessment expertise. From the CEO down, our staff include worldwide recognised authorities in the field of assessment. In fact, some of our staff have been invited to offer assessment advice to bodies such as the OECD, World Bank and the United Nations, while our own products are now used by test agencies around the world.

High quality products

ACER HR has a real commitment to producing and distributing quality assessment products. Our customers can feel confident that every product available has been reviewed by a panel of assessment experts before being included in our range.

Value for money

ACER HR has developed a ‘fair pricing policy’ offering high quality products and services at reasonable prices, which means great value for you.

Supporting an Australian business

ACER is an Australian organisation, enjoying local and international success. Despite stiff competition from overseas owned companies, we have continued to grow and employ more people. Our profits stay in Australia and help to fund ACER projects aimed at increasing learning standards in Australian schools, TAFES and universities.

Professional respect and integrity

At ACER you will find an unwavering commitment to best practice assessment products and services. Working to the highest standards has earned ACER a reputation and level of respect, which are the envy of our competitors.

Genuine choice

Our customer research has told us that people appreciate having product choice. Accordingly, we have provided a genuine choice of products to choose from to meet your particular assessment need. Unlike some companies, we don’t restrict our range to our own brand of assessments. Every year, we search the world for the latest and best products available.
