How The Birkman Method Certification sets participants up for meaningful coaching

Comprehensive three-day workshop to immerse you in Birkman

We know you’re busy, so we offer the flexibility of virtual or in-person certification workshops to best meet your scheduling needs. 

During the workshop, we dive deep into the why and how of using the Birkman Method to improve individual and team performance. And you’ll leave with a robust Birkman Method manual and other key reference materials including tips and best strategies for coaching conversations using Birkman personality insights.

Interactive exercises that allow you to begin using Birkman insights immediately

Rather than teach “at” you for two days, we’ve structured our workshop to incorporate consistent interactive activities that include all participants.

From having mini-insight debriefs to independently leading a coaching conversation with a fellow participant, our workshop moves you seamlessly from theory to practice over the course of three days.

Access to a library of reports and additional learning opportunities

Gain access to over 40 reports, including our most in-depth report -- the Birkman Signature Report. Additional report topics include navigating interpersonal stress, maintaining positive relationships, and decision-making behaviors.

Our consultant-only learning portal also includes courses that further explore Birkman components and applications, allowing you to truly become a Birkman expert.

Many other personality assessments like DiSC and Myers Briggs show productive and unproductive behaviors, but they don’t tell you why. Birkman’s bread and butter show productive behaviors, unproductive behaviors, and employees’ needs to be their best self—something important for our staff to understand.

Justine Gamble, Utah Valley University HR Generalist for Communication and Culture

The Birkman reports have been very helpful at my company in expanding and improving communication between individuals and teams.  It has allowed us to more deeply understand our co-workers' needs and inform how we interact with each other.  Using the Birkman colors and referring to the reports has become part of our culture.  We'd like to keep the Birkman going strong and periodically provide team building activities that reinforce Birkman at Atlas Systems.  I'm getting certified to help keep the program focus going.

Stephanie Spires, Spire Strategies Founder

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to go through The Birkman Method Certification if I am very experienced with assessments and have extensive training in this field?

Yes. The Birkman Method Certification covers Birkman concepts and how to lead a Birkman conversation with others. While a background in facilitation is valuable and definitely helps, the concepts reflected by Birkman are complex enough that there is no substitute for training from our experts. 

If it helps reassure you, most of the attendees to The Birkman Method Certification are also very experienced in HR, executive coaching, training, or talent development—the course material is designed with you in mind.

What certifying programs is The Birkman Method Certification accredited with?

The Birkman Method Certification experience can be used toward the following two certifying programs:

International Coach Federation (ICF) – Continuing Coach Education (CCE) and Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) – Professional Development Credits (PDCs)

What is the cancellation and refund policy for the workshop in case I cannot attend?

Participants may reschedule to another virtual or in-person class if there are seats available. One rescheduling request may be made within the same calendar year. A rescheduling fee may apply if the request is made within 14 days of the start date.

Birkman is not responsible for any non-refundable travel expenses incurred by the registrant.
