 | Assessment & Development Centre Course - A note on other providers | |
 | PsyAsia International is aware that there are other training providers in the region who are attempting to offer similar training courses as PsyAsia. This is fine, that's the wonder of free competition. However, we have some real concerns about the competence of attendees following these courses given what might be seen as "quick-fix" training. We wish to make clients considering alternative Assessment and Development Centre training courses aware of some of the major differences between our course and the competitor we have in mind who we shall call ABC.Are you competent to run an Assessment Centre after one day of training?Firstly, ABC's course is just one day in length, yet they claim at the end of the course, delegates will be able to run assessment centres. PsyAsia's Assessment Centre course is three days and even then we state that delegates will have developing competence in assessment and development centr |

| Is there an exam for the Assessment & Development Centre course? | |
| Yes! At the very end of the course, there is an untimed, closed-book exam which takes most delegates 60-90 minutes to complete. The exam is marked within 2 weeks of the course. Those who reach the pass-mark of 70% and who achieved an acceptable level in the Assessment/Development Centre design exercise will be awarded a Certificate of Competence. Those who do not pass the exam will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance instead and will have an opportunity to resit an alternative form of the exam within 6 months of the course for a fee of SG$200/HK$1000. |

|
| Will I be qualified to order assessment centre exercises after the Assessment & Development Centre course? | |
| At the end of the Assessment & Development Centre Training Course there is a competency exam which is untimed, but usually takes 60-90 minutes to complete. Delegates who pass this exam will be awarded a "Certificate of Competence". This certificate is signed by one of PsyAsia's directors who has a PhD in Psychology and is a fully registered organizational psychologist in Australia and Hong Kong as well as an Australian Psychological Society Psychologist. Typically, this is acceptable evidence for the majority of assessment centre exercise publishers. Should any publisher require any further information or evidence, we shall be happy to reply to their emails or telephone calls on your behalf.Candidates who do not pass the final competency exam will receive a Certificate of Attendance. In this case, if contacted by an exercise publisher, we shall advise that you did not meet our stringent competency requirements, but you did attend a top quality 3-day training course in assessment centre design, running and follow-up. |
