How can you use an EQ Certification?

Six Seconds’ core certifications equip you with an in-depth understanding of EQ, the Six Seconds Model and their philosophies for teaching Emotional Intelligence.

Certified professionals have a special library on EQ.org with hundreds of resources and weekly updates. The library includes slides, videos, worksheets, and other building blocks which you will have access to.

Six Seconds also do ongoing research and share their scientific, global, transformational tools and methods to help you practice emotional intelligence.

Each Certification will equip you with different skills. Some enable you to use and debrief psychometric tests, whilst others upskill you to facilitate workshops and training sessions. Please look at each specific certification to see the actual outcome.

EQ is crucial for business development and yet in nearly 30 years of working in corporates, I have never had EQ explained, demonstrated and presented in this most engaging fashion. This is truly the BEST program I’ve attended in 20 years.
