Assessor Practice & Skills

Our Assessor Practice & Skills Training Programs prepares HR professionals, line managers, and consultants to competently conduct assessment and development center exercises by equipping them with the skills to observe behavior objectively, apply standardized rating scales, avoid bias, and provide evidence-based evaluations.


The program typically covers assessor roles and responsibilities, behavioral observation techniques, competency-based frameworks, scoring and calibration, and delivering structured feedback.


By completing the training program, participants become competent to act as assessors in recruitment, promotion, and development contexts—ensuring fairness, reliability, and validity in the assessment process.
