Training for assessment and development center assessors
Intro
Experience, practice, and reflection as the foundation of development
Training designed for internal assessors or people responsible for the design, implementation and interpretation of assessment and development centres. Participants will learn to define needs, design an AC/DC programme and implement it. They will acquire skills in providing feedback to participants and in preparing and planning development plans. Programme participants will first go through a one-day Assessment Centre themselves, where they will be able to try out individual activities and model situations (which they will later learn to prepare and evaluate themselves) and experience a demonstration of AC implementation by Maxman Consultants. The subsequent two-day training programme focuses on the design of Assessment and Development Centres, AC/DC management and evaluation techniques, and providing feedback. Participants will repeatedly take on the role of evaluators in order to master individual skills and understand observation and evaluation techniques.
Key topics
Completing the training will help participants:
Understand the principles, rules, roles and ethical standards in AC/DC
Gain clarity on the competencies and skills that need to be monitored and evaluated in AC
Master the role of observer/assessor and the entire assessment process (observation, recording, classification, evaluation)
Avoid the most common mistakes made by assessors and learn to assess objectively
Use AC methodology and techniques, including practical exercises and behavioural interviews according to the STAR method
Understand the entire AC process step by step – from design and candidate selection, through implementation and evaluation, to feedback to participants
Training methodology
Interactive, experiential, and practical
- short theoretical inputs
- practice of new techniques
- simulations
- facilitated discussions
- role plays
It is important for us that participants develop real practical skills; therefore, we maintain a ratio of 70/30 between practical experimentation and theoretical input during the training.
Participants have the opportunity to immediately try out and experience the techniques demonstrated and explained by the trainer, and, based on targeted feedback, adjust and gradually improve their performance.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Each training session concludes with a strong link to real-life application — we work with real examples and reflect on how to transfer what has been learned into specific practical situations.
Yes, we always tailor the content to your needs—based on a pre-training questionnaire, discussions with HR or a representative of the trained team, as well as specific examples provided by participants.
The trainers are experienced facilitators who are able to engage even quieter participants—we work with different learning styles and ensure a balanced level of participation.
We measure the success of the training through participant feedback and a post-training discussion with the client. An optional part of the training can also include working with an AI tool that enables measuring participants’ skill development and progress.
We have experience across various industries—IT, manufacturing, finance, healthcare, education, services, and media. We always tailor the content to the specific culture of the organization.
We always include reflection and an action plan in the program—participants define concrete steps for applying new insights in their day-to-day work.
