Assessment centres are one of the most powerful selection methods available. They are an excellent way of predicting how a candidate is likely to behave on a job. This course provides practical and comprehensive training in how to assess a range of simulation exercises – including role plays, group exercises, analysis presentations and in-tray exercises.

​

Who Should Attend?

• The programme is designed for HR professionals and line managers who are to act as assessors or observers within an assessment process.

• The course is aimed at those with little or no experience of assessment centres – or those who would like to improve or update their skills.

​

Why Should I Attend?

• The objective assessment of candidates has become a key source of competitive advantage in leading organisations. The assessor plays a key role in ensuring that an unbiased and consistent approach is used.

• The professional use of assessment centre exercises requires that assessors are trained in behavioural assessment techniques for example the ‘ORCE’ methodology. This training course not only provides extensive training in these techniques but also provides the opportunity to practice your skills.

• The assessor skills learnt are easily transferable to other management and HR related situations such as interviewing or Performance Management. Integrate results from a variety of assessment methods to support decision-making.
