AC – Assessment Centre
DAC – Development Assessment Centre

What is a An AC?
A formal process during which group and individual simulations are used to determine
an individual’s current ability, skills and training needs. The individual’s performance
is evaluated against a number of competencies which are regarded as being of critical importance for being effective on-the-
job.
![Page 15: Introduction to Development Centres Sandra Schlebusch The Consultants](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f005503460f94c15ef1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Job Analysis to inform the Competencies
•Multiple Simulations to Assess
Competencies
•Multiple Observers
•Data Integration
•Assess Behaviour during Simulations
Principles to Adhere to:
![Page 16: Introduction to Development Centres Sandra Schlebusch The Consultants](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f005503460f94c15ef1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Definition of a Simulation
An exercise which simulates a typical situation faced by people in the target job. It requires the same outputs as the real job situation.
To perform effectively, the delegate will have to use a selection of competencies.
![Page 17: Introduction to Development Centres Sandra Schlebusch The Consultants](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f005503460f94c15ef1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Difference between an AC and a DAC:
• Purpose of the Centre –
– AC – selection; perhaps development
– DAC – development
• Therefore:
– Differences in Delegate’s experience
– Differences in Organisation’s handling of results
![Page 18: Introduction to Development Centres Sandra Schlebusch The Consultants](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649f005503460f94c15ef1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Purpose of a DAC:
To obtain a “snapshot” in time of the delegate’s
current areas of strength and current areas
needing further development in relation to the
competencies being evaluated
