What is a group skills assessment?
A collective skills assessment is a skills assessment where part of the sessions are done in small groups and the other part in individual appointments.
It is a full-fledged assessment: it has the same legal framework as an individual assessment., same 3 phases (preliminary, investigation, conclusion), even a written, confidential summary that belongs only to you.
The group does not replace individual support, it complements it:
- During group sessions, You move forward with people who are going through the same process. Their questions illuminate yours. They identify skills in you that you no longer see, and suggest paths you wouldn't have thought of on your own.
- During individual appointments, You review all of this with your consultant, at your own pace, to build a professional project that reflects who you are.
Most importantly, you are no longer alone with your questions.
Aktasens is a Qualiopi certified organization (see our certificateSince 2018, we have accompanied over 500 people, for over 3,000 hours of support.
Why do a skills assessment in a group?
Because the group provides what a face-to-face meeting cannot: different perspectives, momentum, and the feeling of no longer carrying one's doubts alone.
The Crew combines this collective approach with individual time, to maintain the depth of a personalized assessment.
A support program that blends group and individual learning, 100% remote.
- The strength of the collective…In small groups, you share your thoughts with others, discover different paths and ways of working. What we see in our groups: wonderful encounters, unexpected perspectives, a stimulating environment that motivates progress, mutual support, and genuine laughter. Everyone speaks freely, thanks to a privacy policy signed by all participants before the start.
- …and the depth of the individualIndividual appointments provide a calm and confidential space to reflect on what was said in the group, to delve deeper into your project and to adapt it to your profile.
- Connecting with others…Small group sessions (4 to 8 people maximum) to get to know oneself, build trust and refocus, away from the stress of everyday life.
- …and the flexibility of remote learningAll appointments take place via video conference. Group sessions are held on Fridays, either during lunchtime or in the late afternoon. depending on the session: you move forward together, carried by the energy of the group, without disrupting your schedule.
«Several people I was working with asked me for a group format, to compare their journey with that of others in the same process. So I created a program that blends the two: sharing between participants, and one-on-one time with me to delve deeper and personalize each project.»
Emmanuelle Rouaud, founder of Aktasens

Your satisfaction is our greatest reward
So I put it off for months.
Then I discovered that there was another way to do a skills assessment: with several people.
I admit, I was skeptical: talking about my career in front of six strangers?
The first group sessions changed everything. We said things to each other that we would never have confided elsewhere. We challenged each other, without judging each other.
For the first time in a long time, I was no longer alone with my questions.
Then, the individual appointments allowed me to delve into what truly belonged to me, at my own pace.
And a project eventually emerged. Not the one I initially envisioned, but a fairer project.
Today, I changed positions within my company, moving to a role I would never have dared to aim for on my own.
And I'm no longer going around in circles, neither in my head nor at work.
