The Process In Getting 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.

Before you apply for certification, the first thing that you need to know is what the profile classification is about. There are many profile exams that can be given to new employees and this is just one of them. It is founded on the behavior theory by William Moulton Marston and it revolves within the four personality traits. This assesses how a person responds to rules, challenges and influences. It has nothing to do with a person's intelligence.

The four personalities used for classification are Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. There is a questionnaire that a person need to answer. His score will determine how he will behave in his work environment, how he addresses issues and how a person will thrive within your company.

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?

Determine the type of certificate that suit you and your company. Compare the benefits of each of your options. Consult your managers and other certified personnel for their opinion on the certification. Ask licensed individuals on how their knowledge was able to help their organizations.

Once you have decided to become certified, attend the scheduled classes. There are options for both offline and online classes. These have fixed schedules that you have to adhere to for you to understand the personality evaluation. You also need a copy of the Workplace Facilitation Kit, which may be included with the purchase.

After four weeks of instructor-led study, you have to take the test. Exams are also being scheduled so make sure that you include the exam schedule into your calendar. Determine how this profile system can be applied into your organization and how it can help in resolving conflicts, so that you will be better prepared for your exam.

A major factor in getting your certificate is the cost of the classes and exams. Costs differ between the offline and online classes. Included in the fees is the Workplace Facilitation Kit. If you have already purchased this separately, you may be given a discount after you have contacted the certifier.

Because there are a number of personality assessments, you have lots of choices when it comes to classifying your employees' characteristics. After evaluating them, make sure that you also get to know them more personally in terms of what motivates them, what causes them pressure and how they want to be successful in your company.
