How To Obtain 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 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?

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.

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.

After completing the study requirements, you will soon be given the exam schedule. To better prepare for the exam, review the personality profiles, their evaluation responses and how these people will behave within the work environment. You can also study possible interventions based on their profiles. Even before you become certified, you can start applying what you learned in your office.

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.

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.
