Learning outcomes of DISC accreditation

Our comprehensive and interactive Level One DISC profile training workshop gets HR Professionals and Consultants up and running with Extended DISC in just two half-day sessions. In the workshop, we explore the four primary behavioural styles and the use of DISC in the workplace, looking closely at:

• The scientific background of Extended DISC®.
• The strengths and development areas of the DISC profiles.
• How to motivate people and spot when they are under stress.
• How to communicate with people in the way most comfortable to them.
• Best practices and ethical considerations when administering DISC Assessments.
• Acquiring the skills to debrief an individual behavioural assessment using the Extended DISC Profiles, Flexibility Diamonds and Special Cases.
• Discovering the ten Special Cases. You will learn to identify shapes in the Profiles which indicate that an individual is experiencing an underlying emotion that may be having a significant impact on them. Knowledge that can be used to work with them sensitively and to make appropriate adjustments in the workplace.
• The reasons why businesses commonly apply Extended DISC profiling in the workplace.

 

How long is the DISC accreditation?

Level One Extended DISC Training is conducted regularly via Zoom. (In-house training at your workplace is available). The Workshop consists of two half day sessions; it is interactive and has a practical focus. The DISC training runs for a total of 7 hours (consisting of one 3 and one 4-hour session), including short breaks. Our virtual DISC accreditation removes the need to travel to a venue; having it over two half days allows participants time to attend to their other work and personal commitments.

How our DISC accreditation differs from others

With numerous DISC based assessments available, it can be challenging to know which one to choose. You’ll find the main points of difference between Extended DISC and other DISC assessments, along with the distinct advantages that our DISC Profile tool offers, outlined below.

Most DISC Profiles only assess 4 - 16 behavioural styles. Extended DISC Assessment reports analyse 160 different behavioural styles, which allows for more in-depth reporting and a more profound understanding of a person's unique behavioural style.

DISC assessments often focus only on what the respondents think they need to be in their current environment. Consequently, the results can be easily manipulated and change drastically over time. What makes the Extended DISC tool different is its ability to measure a person's hard-wired DISC style. The results show who the individual is as well as how they feel they need to adapt to their work environment. As a result, Extended DISC identifies the individual’s real strengths and developmental areas, allowing for accurate performance improvement.

Extended DISC Assessments are some of the most highly validated and reliable workplace assessments and undergo vigorous reliability and validation checks on a bi-annual basis. The latest study analysed over 1,005,000 results across 77 different languages and multiple countries. As a qualified Extended DISC consultant, you will boost your credibility by using the most intelligent and strongly validated workplace assessment tools on the market.
