What is an Assessment Centre? An Assessment Centre is a powerful combination of games, simulations, exercises and psychometric evaluations that are carefully designed to measure observable behaviour, skills and results against a predetermined set of competencies. The best Assessment Centres use combinations of team, individual, active, oral and written activities and client generated, job-specific competencies which are witnessed by one-on-one Observers trained to be objective.
