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.
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).
Both the online programme and in person course is Continuing Coach Education (CCE) accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Anyone who completes the course will receive:
- 9 ICF Resource Development hours
- 3 ICF Core Competency hours
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.
