Master DISC Certification Program
Not all DISC is created equal – the assessments or the training. Our clients consistently say they walked away from our Master DISC Certification Program with more than they ever expected. They receive in-depth knowledge, world-class DISC assessments, and detailed facilitation resources to confidently deliver impactful sessions on their own. (Our clients that were “previously DISC-certified” rave even more!)

“I’d like to compliment Data Dome on the outstanding DISC course this week. I know they have had to adjust with Zoom, etc, but it looks like they’ve been teaching this course on Zoom and virtually for a long time! The pace, materials, break times, and interactions are wonderful. The real-life stories Data Dome share about clients, teams, and organizations brings it all to life.”

“As part of my role, I look to certify in multiple leadership, communication, and/or facilitation courses. I chose DataDome, because our company had a great relationship with them, certifying many of my colleagues, and everyone highly recommended their training. After going through the course, I now understand why it was so highly recommended. It was engaging learning. Felt like a dialogue, very fluid, and all the while you’re gaining lasting understanding of the content. Lisa and her team did a wonderful job of logistics and facilitation. I highly recommend them.”

Certification Overview
Four day virtual Master DISC Certification Program
This program is designed to equip trainers with an in-depth understanding of DISC Behavioral Styles. We train on so much more than just the High D, I, S and C. We educate you on the Low DISC styles, varying intensities, combination styles and adaptations, both strategic and reactive. You will leave with the knowledge and confidence to apply the DISC methodology to leadership development, team effectiveness, communication strategies, coaching, hiring, and sales.We provide you with all the resources that you need to facilitate sessions: Power Point presentations, facilitator notes, participant materials and exercise worksheets along with the rights to customize and reproduce the materials to suit your needs (the facilitator kit alone is a $900+ value). Strategies and models to successfully implement DISC in your organization or training practice will be discussed. You will have access to a number of advanced DISC assessments through Data Dome.
Classes are kept small to encourage and allow for personal interaction, sharing of relevant examples, and discussing customized applications. You receive time with the instructor during your exam review to gain additional knowledge and discuss implementation strategies.
The training is insightful, engaging, and fun. Participants consistently say they walk away with more than they ever expected from the program.

Process
Personal Call with the Instructor
The most important thing to Data Dome is that you leave the session having received more than you ever anticipated. We set up a one-on-one call with the instructor to understand how you will be implementing DISC and your greatest needs so we can ensure they are covered in the four days. We review the process, discuss the pre-work, and make sure all your questions have been answered.
Session Pre-Work
Participants are asked to complete pre-work for the session. The objective is for each person to come to the session having a basic background and understanding of DISC Behavioral Styles. This will allow the class to start with the same knowledge base and keep discussions moving at a consistent pace.
Includes: Completing a personal DISC Assessment, reading the Universal Language DISC Reference Manual, and completing an Online Study Guide
Agenda
The course starts with introductions, allowing participants to best understand their classmates and form connections that often go beyond the class. The facilitator resource manual will be reviewed (over 100 pages of great resources), as will the materials and agenda for the program. A “mini” DISC workshop will be demonstrated utilizing the materials the participants will receive. This allows participants to see the program delivered and gives the class an extended base of knowledge. Throughout the four days, the study guide and the resource manual will be used to educate the class in advanced DISC knowledge.

UAB Medicine adopted the DISC assessment as the primary tool we use to enhance teamwork by better understanding our own communication/behavioral style as well as learning to appreciate different communication styles. UAB Medicine’s work with Data Dome has helped us change our culture to a more open, accepting environment which is more tolerant of all groups. It gives us a neutral language to discuss communication style without it seeming personal. Also our teams are more effective because we now are better able to play to each other’s strengths and put individuals in places where they can excel.
