How To Get A Disc Assessment Certification

By Charles Graham


If you are a manager or a business owner, it is important that you understand how each of your employees differ and how they can contribute to the organization. Getting certified in administering assessments, such as the DISC assessment certification, will give you more tools in knowing how to lead your organization better.

Your first step is to learn how this profile evaluation differs from others. DISC was based on a behavioral theory by psychologies William Moulton Marston. A person is evaluated based on four personality traits. The questions being asked revolve around how a person will handle challenges, how he influences, how he responds to rules and how he prefers his work pace.

The four classifications for this profile evaluation are Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. A person will need to answer a questionnaire that classifies their behavior under each classification. This will determine what type of tasks suit them and the type of work environment in which they will thrive.

To better understand this profile system, take the evaluation yourself. Assess the results if they match similar profile assessments that you have taken in the past. Does the result reflect how you perceive yourself? Did it reveal something about yourself that you could not explain before? Will your company benefit from the same evaluation?

There are several certificates being offered to those who would like to be licensed evaluators for this personality exam. Check out the advantages and the benefits for each and determine which one is best suited to your role in the company and to the company's needs. You also need to consider how much of your time can be used for getting certified.

Be prepared to attend four weeks of classes. There will be one instructor-led session every week. You should also expect some self-paced study materials that you have to complete. Offline and online classes are being offered. Both options have fixed schedules that you are required to attend.

The exam will take place soon after your four weeks of study. Familiarize yourself with the four traits, the questions that determine a person's classification and common applications of the profile system. These will help you be well-prepared to get your certificate.

The cost of learning and getting a certificate is a huge factor in deciding to enroll in the program and in choosing the classes. Online classes are typically less expensive than in-person classes. The Workplace Facilitation Kit is already included in the class fees. If you purchased this separately, you may be eligible for a discount upon verification by the administrator.

Becoming certified in DISC can bring positive changes for your organization. As each person has a different response to difficulties, you will know how to manage each person's performance and help them become better through your development interventions.
