Assessment & Development Centres Training Course
Introduction
PsyAsia's three-day Assessment and Development Centre Course provides delegates with a grounding in the assessment centre methodology and ensures that by the end of the course delegates are able to:
*
Evaluate whether or not their organization is ready to implement assessment centres as a tool for effective selection and development.
*
Assess the resources required to successfully run an assessment centre.
*
Design and implement an effective assessment process within their organization.
*
Explain the role of the assessor and the skills necessary to be effective in this position.
*
Conduct an assessment centre - from logistics through to the use of information collected/ reporting.
Course Timing
Day 1: 10am-5. 30pm
Day 2: 9am 6pm*
Day 3: 8. 45am 6pm
* Delegates spend from 4pm-6pm plus whatever extra time they require in preparing a 2 hour assessment centre to run on day three. Therefore, it is wise to keep some extra time free in the evening of day two to ensure that everything is ready for day three.
There is an optional exam on day three. This commences at 5pm and usually takes an hour to complete. However, delegates may, at their choosing, take until 6. 30pm to complete.
