14 May 2025

Consistency checking is a vital element of job evaluation. It is carried out on outcomes of the job matching or job evaluation processes and is designed to check outcomes against each other to avoid inconsistency and potential equal pay risk.

Course format:

The online one-day consistency checking course runs from 9:30am until 5pm and is delivered via Zoom.

All participants must attend and actively participate on both training days to receive a certificate of completion. Unfortunately, due to the structure of the course content any time missed away from the session will mean we can’t issue that attendance certificate
