MBTI^® Step II^™ Certification

Go beyond four-letter type

MBTI Step II reveals the nuances of each of the 16 MBTI personality types. This programme is the next step for anyone who is already MBTI Step I^™ certified.

Overview

MBTI logo People are unique, and that’s why those with the same four-letter MBTI personality type can be very different. Behind any given MBTI type is an individual with their own composition of preferences.

The MBTI Step II assessment looks at the ‘facets’ behind every preference pair, to reveal how an individual’s personality type is really composed. The two-day MBTI Step II Virtual Certification programme shows how you can apply deeper insight to tackle key challenges in organisations, such as communication and decision-making. Post-course, the MBTI Step II Knowledge Bank will provide continued practical support to help you to make the most of your training (see below for contents).

One of the many benefits of becoming MBTI certified is receiving Continuing Coach Education (CCE) hours for the work you put in. Both in-person and virtual certification sessions are accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). See the available hours. The self-guided MBTI Step II Certification is not currently accredited.

Course duration

2 days live virtual training, including group and individual activities in the virtual classroom.

Before the course, you will complete an online MBTI Step II assessment and online learning modules (~3 hours of pre-work). During the two-day workshop you’ll engage in varied interactive classroom sessions interwoven with further online self-study modules, reading and reflection activities.

(Equivalent to 18 CPD hours)
