Mastering Assessor Skills
Many organisations successfully use 'Assessment or Development Centres' where multiple candidates work through numerous exercises. These are designed to focus on the skills and abilities necessary for the role and are highly predictive of future performance. However, attempting to assess multiple delegates at these events without the appropriate training can lead to the collection of poor candidate information, which in turn leads to poor decisions being made. This practical programme provides delegates with the skills required to assess people objectively at assessment and development centres.
