Certification Details

Our Certification Course is designed for coaches, HR professionals, instructors, leaders, and individuals wanting to add social and emotional intelligence coaching to their toolkit of services. The course teaches you about social and emotional intelligence and provides a framework for you to coach others. Course completion also certifies you to administer the Social and Emotional Intelligence Profile (SEIP)®, explain the results, and identify opportunities for the people that you are coaching. Social and emotional intelligence is all about behavioral change and our course will give you the tools and experience you need to help your clients become aware of and modify behaviors that may be slowing them down and help them leverage their strengths to their advantage.

The Certification Course is based upon the 4 Quadrant Model of Emotional Intelligence and covers 26 competencies of social and emotional intelligence, providing expert training on how to coach social and emotional intelligence and how to administer the Social and Emotional Intelligence Profile (SEIP®), both the Self and 360 versions of the assessment.  We work through case studies and learn how to debrief SEIP® reports for your clients and help them develop a growth plan for behavioral change. We also discuss how you can market yourself as a Social and Emotional Intelligence Coach® once you have completed the course.

Live vs Self-Study

Live online courses are offered several times per year. The live courses are recommended for the in-real-time interactions, however, we understand that not everyone can attend so we offer a self-study version as well.

Each session is 1.5 hours long and there are 8 sessions for a total of 12 hours.

Upon registration, self-study participants will be given a link to the recordings of the lively, interactive class sessions from a past course.  They will feel like they are part of a live course and hear the interactions of the other students. The primary benefit of the self-study course is that you can complete the course sessions on your own time, at your own pace.  Self-study participants are required to complete and submit a detailed content summary for each session.

For both the live and self-study courses, after you have completed the course, you will have continued access to the online classroom and the private SEIP Coach Portal, as well as customer support as-needed. You will be able to purchase assessments online with a credit card and administer them to your clients, tracking everything through your online private portal.  And, you will receive 12 credits from either the ICF, HRCI, or SHRM.
