1. How to Prepare for an Assessment Center?
Our Assessment Center Preparation Training is a comprehensive program designed to equip participants with the skills, strategies, and confidence necessary to excel in assessment center environments. Through a series of meticulously crafted exercises, we prepare individuals to navigate the challenges of assessment centers, from case studies and role plays to competency-based interviews and in-tray exercises. With personalized feedback and expert guidance, we ensure that each participant is fully prepared to demonstrate their potential and make a lasting impression.
Our training covers the specific competencies and behavioural indicators expected to be demonstrated in each exercise. Participants are also provided with technical insights and practical tips on how to effectively showcase these competencies during each stage of the assessment. This guidance empowers individuals to present their skills and behaviours in the most compelling way, ensuring they meet the expectations of assessors and maximize their performance throughout the assessment process.
What exercises are include?
Case Study and Presentation: A case analysis scenario is an example-based scenario used to solve or analyse a problem or situation. These scenarios can be used in the business, educational environments, or assessment centers. Participants are presented with a specific scenario, data and information related to this scenario are provided. Participants are expected to analyse the scenario, identify problems, and present their solutions through a presentation mostly.
Role Play: Role plays are used to simulate real-life challenges and issues that candidates or employees might face in corporate life. These exercises typically involve work-related situations and interactions with colleagues and participants are expected to successfully manage specific roles, tasks or scenarios.
In-tray Exercise: The exercise is a task designed to assess a candidate’s or employee's planning and organizational skills. In this exercise, an individual is assigned a virtual inbox and is expected to perform certain tasks. These tasks may include organizing incoming emails, prioritizing them, preparing necessary responses, taking appropriate actions and managing communication effectively.

Competency-Based Interview
A competency-based interview is a method used during job application processes to evaluate a candidate’s past experiences and skills in more detail. In these interviews, candidates are asked to provide examples of specific competencies or behaviours related to the job. Instead of asking hypothetical questions, the interviewer focuses on real examples from the candidate's previous roles to evaluate whether they possess the key competencies or skills required for the position.
Competency-based interviews aim to provide a clearer, more objective understanding of how a candidate’s past behaviour is likely to predict their future performance in similar situations. They are often used to assess competencies like problem-solving, teamwork, leadership, communication, and time management.
We would be delighted to support you throughout your assessment process and job interview, a pivotal moment that could shape the pathway of your career.
