EQ-i 2.0 & EQ 360 Training
Certification for EQ-i 2.0 & EQ 360 assessments
EQ-i 2.0 Emotional Intelligence Assessment
The EQ-i 2.0 is the leading emotional intelligence assessment used in recruitment, coaching and leadership development. The EQ-i 2.0 provides an in-depth understanding of an individual's emotional functioning in five broad areas:
-
Self-perception
-
Self-expression
-
Interpersonal
-
Decision Making
-
Stress Management
​
The EQ-i 2.0 is used within organisations:
-
to recruit highly emotionally intelligent individuals
-
to identify talent with the potential for promotion and to support their growth
-
to develop managers in people skills to support their technical competencies
-
to improve team performance
-
to support leadership development programmes with one-to-one coaching
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:
"I recommend this course for practitioners/coaches looking to expand their toolkit with a valid and reliable EQ assessment. The course balances technical and practical input really well, so you will leave feeling well equipped and confident using the EQ-i 2.0 with your clients."
Nikki Bell, Department for Work and Pensions
"A fun, engaging and relevant course - I absolutely recommend! I came knowing very little about EQ-i 2.0 and left not only knowing much more about it but also having explored it and practised my new skills so I'm now confident I can apply it in the workplace straight away, and I'm looking forward to it!"
Tanja Pelny, Brown-Forman
"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."
Elaine Rémy, Coaching for Transition
“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.”
Louise Yates, Clear Perspectives
