Assessment center tools that you will download from the internet or you will find it for free are very Primitive and you can not count on them
if you need an institute that you can be certified from i suggest (profiles international) they are one of the best tools ever and they are recomnded by the most famous training intitutes like dale caringe
they have many tools to diffrent departments and mangerial level

Hi Johny,
A Development Centre is something that you should design by giving a lot of thought.
A few things that you need to consider are:
1. Do you have the competency framework designed in your organisation. If no, you would need to have the competencies identified and defined based on various business aspects.
2. Any tool available on the web would practically defeat the purpose of a DC. Also the tool identification needs to be done based on the competencies that you wish to assess.
Along similar lines there are quite a few other points that you need to keep in mind. You can call me on 9 8 2 0 3 4 9 7 3 7 if you would like to understand these in more details.

Dear Johny
You can start by writing what you want to assess. The qualities, competences, KSA. Based on your requirement then identify tools. No one tool is sufficient for assessing you will have to use combination of tools.
Do the first exercise of identification and then it'll be easier to identify tools.

Dear Akilesh,

I have already identified the competencies for each role. A well defined competency framework is done. Now i need to assess the employees on each competency, for this I need tools to access, the guidance i need is to develop these tools for each competency. If you can share any samples or tools it would be a great help. Thanks

John

Dear Johnny,
Tools like In basket, Group Discussion, Role Play & Presentation can help for DC assessment.
Browse internet to learn more about them.
Ideally a DC consists of two types of assessments.
1. Leadership Assessment
2. Functional Assessment
A leadership competency framework must be set at an organizational level. Functional competencies will vary from individual to individual depending upon his current and the next targeted role.
