Assessment centres and development centres, have been shown to be highly reliable measures of aspects of work-related behaviour. They are extremely useful in assessing interpersonal behaviours in teams, influencing style and aspects of organisational ability.

Who Is It For?

Skills in the design and implementation of Assessment/Development centres are invaluable for HR professionals, consultants and line managers alike. Indeed, the contribution of the latter group is often overlooked when it comes to organising assessment centres.

"I am so happy I found KCP's totally online training course for the British Psychological Society's certificates in ability/personality testing. I needed to learn at a distance and Hong Kong to England is certainly that. KCP's staff are truly helpful and patient with all queries. The teaching material is very interesting, easy to comprehend and logically organised. I actually enjoyed doing these courses. I can highly recommend this course to anyone with or without distance learning needs."
