Assessment Centre Design & Delivery
The Challenge
Whether you're looking to bring new talent to the business or develop existing people, making the wrong decision can have a huge impact on business performance.
Traditional interviews alone have been proven to be a poor indicator of future potential of success. By investing in the use of assessment centre techniques the risks in making these decisions can be hugely reduced.
Workshop Overview
Many organisations successfully use ‘Assessment Centres' where multiple candidates work through numerous exercises. These are designed to focus on the skills and abilities important for the role and are highly predictive of future performance.
Designing and Delivering Assessment Centres will provide you with the skills to significantly increase the predictability of your assessment decisions.

If you would like to understand how to develop and run your own assessment or development centres this is the course for you.
