Stress Management
​
The EQ-i 2.0 is used within organisations:

to develop managers in people skills to support their technical competencies
-

The EQ 360 assessment provides a more in-depth analysis by gathering information from an individual's work colleagues, manager and direct reports, resulting in a more complete 360-degree profile.​​

What people say about our online certification:
I was quite apprehensive about doing the EQi 2.0 and EQ 360 Certification Program virtually because I knew I would have to spend a lot of time in front of the computer and I thought it would be really draining. I was, however, pleasantly surprised! There was no difference between how I usually feel at the end of a face-to-face training session and how I felt at the end of this course. The process from start to finish was simple, the trainers were both friendly and professional and the course was interesting, interactive and enjoyable. I will definitely be using Psysoft for future training courses.

​
Thank you for an excellent course, delivered by a knowledgeable and engaged trainer. I feel very well equipped to provide the EQi 2.0 and EQ360 tool to my clients, interpret the reports and provide feedback sessions. Being able to undertake the programme remotely worked extremely well and was much more convenient.
Nicola Williams | North Bristol NHS Trust
​
This was my first experience of webinar-based learning and was excellent. The trainer was excellent and the course was delivered in a user-friendly and efficient way. The pre-course material was also very clear and along with the opportunity to carry out your own self-assessment this really helped to reinforce was what being covered, making the final exam a very straightforward task and giving me confidence to use this tool with clients.

Q. How do I buy the assessment after the course?
Upon completing the certification course exam, we will set you up with an online account for the MHS EQ-i 2.0 & EQ360 testing portal to administer the assessments and generate reports.

Q. Will I need to re-register or retake the certification in the future?
Your EQ-i 2.0 & EQ 360 certification does not expire. This means that once you have become qualified, you do not need to re-register or retake the certification. However, we do run regular EQ-i 2.0 refreshers for our qualified practitioners, to help you make the most out of the assessments and recap the key features, reports and interpretation principles.
