Frequent Questions about the EQ Certification
What's the difference between this course and others?
Founded in 1997, Six Seconds is one of the only organizations that's been 100% focused on emotional intelligence for over a decade. Six Seconds' certifications are the benchmark.
As far as we know, this is the only EQ Certification completely geared to help you develop and implement emotional intelligence -- rather than promoting a particular assessment or piece of courseware. It's all about learning. While we do review several assessments and we use our assessment tool, the majority of the time is focused on how to enhance and better utilize emotional intelligence (irrespective of what model or tool you use). In fact, our network includes practitioners using every major model and EQ assessment - and doing a better job with those because they have this solid grounding in how to put EQ in action themselves.
In addition, Six Seconds' methodology is unique. We are learning experts and deliver world-class training that's grounded in decades of experience in teaching and curriculum design. The majority of participants say this is one of the very best learning experiences of their lives.
The course is highly experiential rather than mostly cognitive. We believe that for someone to lead and develop others, they need to experience the program themselves and develop their own EQ! This allows us to be more genuine, more emotionally intelligent, and therefore do a better job spreading EQ to others.
