Assessment and Development Centres

An assessment or development centre is not a place but a process whereby individuals are assessed against specific job competencies. They are well structured events involving a series of exercises and activities with the objective of assessing and evaluating competencies through the observed behaviour and performance of participants. Assessment and development centres are a means of helping you to identify the strengths and potential development areas of employees in your organisation.

	An assessment centre will generally be used for selection purposes to maximise the chances of successful candidates accepting offers of employment. It allows the candidate to gain a clearer impression of the quality and professionalism of the organisation. Even unsuccessful candidates go away with a more favourable view of the organisation.
	A development centre will usually be used to help identify and develop the key talent for the future of the organisation. It enables a team of Assessors to objectively measure skills, strengths and competencies and identify development needs
