Why get a certification?
Facilitation kits are available for each of our DiSC profiles; however, many professional trainers find it beneficial to add a certification credential. The knowledge gained during certification will help you customize and add value to your own training programs.
Certification allows you to
- gain expertise in the Everything DiSC model and supporting research
- experience Everything DiSC® on Catalyst™
- customize an Everything DiSC program to meet specific participant needs
- practice facilitation techniques while receiving feedback in a safe environment
- create strategies to promote a DiSC-based culture
Certification is available online for Everything DiSC and is delivered by expert trainers from Wiley, the publisher of DiSC.
Customer testimonial
Oh my gosh, we learned so much. Even people who were familiar with DiSC felt like they were better equipped to administer it. I think they were surprised by how much they were learning because some of them had known about DiSC for 20 years.

No. We recommend certification, but it is not required. We offer the Catalyst Practitioner Experience, which comes with everything you need to get started with DiSC. We also offer profile-specific facilitation kits to support facilitators.
In-person classroom training was suspended in 2020. No future dates have been announced by Wiley, the publisher of Everything DiSC and provider of the certification.
Attendance is required for all sessions of this certification course. If you find out that you'll have to miss one of the sessions, please contact hello@discprofile.com and certifications@wiley.com to reschedule your certification.
Certification will make you a better facilitator by teaching you more about the Everything DiSC® model, theory, and research. You will also practice your skills via live virtual classroom sessions and field assignments. The course is designed to build on facilitation and coaching skills as they pertain to Everything DiSC. While the course won't teach you how to be a trainer, if you're new to the skill, this course will increase your confidence facilitating Everything DiSC profiles.
No. But we do offer an EPIC help section on this site. And, of course, you can always email or call us for support. We also hold monthly sessions for clients who recently completed certification where we walk through EPIC and Catalyst and answer questions.
No. There are several assessments offered by others that reference the DISC model, but we only offer Everything DiSC® profiles and certification. If you have a DISC certification offered through another source (e.g., not through Wiley or its Authorized Partners), it will not prepare you to facilitate using Everything DiSC profiles. The research and testing behind Everything DiSC is why we sell (and use) these products.
The Everything DiSC certification does cover all the profiles in the Everything DiSC suite: Workplace, Management, Sales, Agile EQ, Productive Conflict, and Work of Leaders. It also covers Worksmart, the new, high-impact leadership training tool from Everything DiSC.
That’s ok! We know that some organizations are still in the process of migrating to Everything DiSC on Catalyst. The content that will be covered in the Certification covers the underpinnings of DiSC, including the history, research, and assessment methodology, which transcend both the traditional Everything DiSC and the Catalyst experiences. Participants will learn about Catalyst, as well as other tools in the Everything DiSC application suite, equipping them with the knowledge they need to choose the best option for their organization.
