Also known as: assessment centre, development centre, leadership assessment centre, in-tray exercise, role play assessment, assessment center Saudi Arabia, assessment center Riyadh, virtual assessment centre
Assessment and developmentAssessment and Development Centres
An assessment centre measures competencies through several exercises that simulate real work, observed by several trained assessors whose observations are combined into an agreed rating for each competency.
Mijhar runs the whole centre: schedules, forms, assessor allocation, the wash-up session and reports, with every decision documented on the platform.
We deliver Assessment and Development Centres for government, semi-government, private and non-profit organisations in Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Khobar and across Saudi Arabia and the GCC, in person or online, in Arabic and English.

Questions about Assessment and Development Centres
How is an assessment centre different from online tests?+
A test measures one aspect with one tool. An assessment centre combines several simulation exercises and assessors to observe actual behaviour, then integrates results into one rating per competency.
How long does a centre take?+
It depends on the job level and number of exercises, and is set during design with your team.
Can it run remotely?+
Yes. Schedules, exercises, forms and the wash-up session run on the platform, in person, remotely or blended.
Can we use our own competency framework?+
Yes. The centre is built on your framework and behavioural levels, or on the platform's competency library.
Who are the assessors?+
Certified assessors from our team, or your own assessors after training, with ratings calibrated in the wash-up before approval.
How much does Assessment and Development Centres cost?+
The cost depends on the number of participants, the scope and the tools used. We send a detailed quotation after understanding your needs — request a demo and you will receive it within two working days.
Do you offer Assessment and Development Centres outside Riyadh?+
