Online Emotional Intelligence Certification: How To Become A Certified Practitioner

The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2020 report highlighted Emotional Intelligence (EQ) as one of the most in demand skills sought by employers in current times.

This comes as no surprise, as employers are actively seeking to work with individuals who can handle the challenge of harnessing positivity and make better decisions under intense pressure.

The development and management of EQ competencies, both within ourselves and others, is the way to do that confidently and consistently.

In this blog, you’ll find everything you need to know about how to become a certified EQ practitioner online. We’ll explore the benefits and the science behind RocheMartin’s psychometric Emotional Capital Report (ECR), what you’ll learn about EQ and the ways you can apply it successfully in a business or educational setting.

Who Can Benefit From Online Emotional Intelligence Certification?

There’s great value in becoming a certified Emotional Intelligence practitioner from both a personal and professional standpoint.

Here’s some of the common use cases for why individuals get certified with us:

• Professional coaches looking to broaden their offering to the business world.

• Executive management teams seeking to develop their leadership competencies, support employees better and improve business performance.

• HR professionals expanding their skillsets and extending EQ training across their organisations.

• Business school management and academic professionals enhancing MBA and Executive Education programmes.

• Career development professionals striving to develop the traits of the next generation of business leaders.

From our own work over the past 15 years, we’ve seen demonstrable results in many of the world’s most successful businesses:

• Media giant Sky Group’s CEO Jeremy Darroch recognised better stress management, decision making and internal working dynamics after over 500 executives used Emotional Intelligence training from RocheMartin.

“This continues to be one of the most acclaimed and effective leadership programmes at Sky to date.” 

Ralph Tribe, Director of People, Sky

2. An individual’s detailed scores are benchmarked against a database of 180,000 business professionals and high performing global leaders, and is recognised as one of the most scientifically rigorous psychometric tools within Emotional Intelligence.

3. Our ECR 360 Multi-Rater Report uses a broader evaluation methodology to give you a more rounded view of performance, making it ideal for leadership development programs, executive coaching, and personal development.

4. You’ll receive an 18 page coaching manual to supplement your use of the ECR in the business world, alongside tailored coaching strategies.

Becoming A Certified Practitioner Online: The Options

We offer two different paths for online certification. You can choose from either a digital (on demand) or live webinar approach.

If you opt for the digital course, you’ll enjoy:

• Recorded classes that you can watch at your own pace and convenience

• Lessons devised and delivered by Dr Martyn Newman, a world-leading clinical psychologist and expert in Emotional Intelligence

• A variety of teaching methods, including workbooks and a technical manual, videos and Card Sort activities

• Mixed online and real-world assessment methods

In the live webinar course, you’ll experience:

• Four half-day sessions, equivalent to our two-day certification workshop

• A variety of teaching methods, including workbooks and a technical manual, webinars and EC Workshop Cards

• Ongoing ECR 360 Feedback Webinars to support your continued professional development through an exclusive alumni membership.

• The reassurance of completing a course accredited by the BPS, CPD and the Association for Coaches

Both approaches have their advantages. If you’re completing your certification around your existing work commitments, you may be more suited to the digital course. But if your employer is funding your certification and is happy for you to complete it on work time and on designated dates, the webinar course may be more appropriate.

Learn With Globally Renowned Emotional Intelligence Experts

This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from leading EQ experts and co-authors of the ECR, Dr Martyn Newman (digital and webinar) and Judy Purse MAPS. (webinar).

For the last 20 years, they’ve combined their real-world clinical, teaching and psychological expertise to deliver Emotional Intelligence training to global business leaders and within some of the world’s leading academic institutions.

By participating in the certification, you’ll receive the latest theoretical teachings and insights from two lifetime’s experience in Emotional Intelligence.

The Science Behind Truly Effective Emotional Intelligence Skills

Modules 1 and 2 of our online courses are designed to give you a richer understanding of Emotional Intelligence and the ECR.

Because our approach is founded in neuroscience and the latest academic research, you’ll also get a level of depth that goes beyond most online Emotional Intelligence certifications.

For example, many alternative tools describe aspects of personality and leadership. We take this several steps further, giving you the knowledge and insight to manage, control and enhance the 10 key EQ competencies:

• Self-knowing

• Self-confidence

• Self-reliance

• Straightforwardness

• Self-actualization

• Relationship skills

• Empathy

• Adaptability

• Optimism

• Self-control

“What does self-confidence mean? What does empathy mean? What does it take to build powerful relationships? The ECR gives you a very clear structure. All of these competencies can be measured and you can manage the development progress.”

Maria Grigorova, Global Growth Acceleration Director, Mars Inc.

 

You’ll also learn about the science behind the ECR. When you know how the reports are developed and structured, you can be much more confident in your own use of them.

And you’ll go through a comprehensive and bespoke transformation and assessment feedback process. During two hours of intense counselling, you’ll get an understanding of everything you know about yourself, how you can upskill your EQ, and how you can provide emotional support to those around you.
