ACCS

The ACCS was designed to be as easy to use as possible. We have provided detailed rating guidance in the scale manual and have found that simply providing therapists with the ACCS manual is sufficient to achieve acceptable levels of both usability and agreement between assessors (i.e. inter-rater reliability). However, we did find that inter-rater reliability and therapist's usability ratings for the ACCS did improve after attending a one-day workshop in using the ACCS scale. Training could also be useful for those new to using competence assessment measures, or those who would like to consider how to use the scale as an effective tool for feedback and self-reflection... We have developed a recorded role play sessions and acompanying standardised ratings which you can use in your training. You can view the session recording and explore the ACCS ratings provided by scale authors in the video below.
