Guidelines on the Design & Delivery of  Virtual Assessment Centres

Helen Baron, Natalie Dowell, Max Choi and Charlie Eyre, Assessment Centre Standards Working Group will be presenting at 9:35 am until 10:00

Drawing on research and insights of experienced practitioners, the Standards for the Design and Delivery of Assessment Centres (British Psychological Society, 2015) has been widely used as a means of supporting practitioners in the field. Its primary focus was the face-to-face delivery of assessment centres and the needs of practitioners switching to full virtual delivery, with the onset of the Covid pandemic, prompted work on further guidance. The presenters drew together key themes through their own experience of transferring online assessment centres to online format, and also through consultation with practitioners across the UK with recent experience in this area. The broad themes around which the guidelines are structured relate to design issues, technical issues, exercises, assessors, participants, validity and fairness. The paper provides an overview of the new guidelines, and how they can be used by practitioners.
