Certification Benefits

Becoming a recognised Birkman Certified Professional will provide the following benefits.

Communication

One of the reasons that Birkman is so effective in working with groups is that it validates all behavioural styles, emphasising that each individual has strengths to contribute. You’ll learn how to help different personalities on a team develop an appreciation for each other’s distinct strengths and resolve workplace conflicts with deeper understanding, patience, and finesse.

Understand the Complexities of Behavioural Style

You will practice your interpretation skills with several Birkman report profiles to see how combinations of personality traits may impact the working relationship of those with different patterns. Then, you’ll compare multiple profiles to predict potential collaborative issues and strengths commonly found among teams.

Coach Others to Become More Self-Aware

Birkman Signature Certification focuses on individual coaching, as a Birkman report can help immensely in coaching conversations. Self-awareness is the first step toward personal growth – both in developing your strengths and in adapting when the context of the situation doesn’t match your personal narrative.

Access to Reports & Discounted Questionnaires

Following certification, you will have access to discounted questionnaires and reports available to only Birkman Certified Practitioners.

ICF Learning Credits

Birkman Recertification – Certification Renewal

If your experience with the Birkman has been gained internally within a consulting firm, you will be required to complete an assessment of your knowledge of the Birkman Method before gaining certification.

Ongoing Professional Development

The Birkman Method is a comprehensive, in-depth motivational indicator that can be used in any business application involving human interaction. Professional Development courses build upon the fundamentals learned within the Signature Certification course, letting the consultant leverage the full power of The Birkman Method. Consultants can expand and refine their Birkman skill sets with various learning options and stay in touch with the latest developments.

Birkman Application Workshops

We run workshops virtually and face-to-face in Australia on an as-needed basis.

Topic areas are focused on broadening the consultant’s Birkman application knowledge with the opportunity to analyse case studies and participate in experiential learning. Instructors are experts within the applications they are leading, all having numerous years of experience utilising the Birkman.

Other options include USA and European-based Application Workshops, Round Tables and Webinars available to certified consultants.

Birkman Reports

Unique to the Birkman Method is the wide range of reports, including the ability to request a customised report to meet your organisation’s needs. Furthermore, in most instances, you only pay for a single report category, allowing greater flexibility in report design at no additional cost.

In addition to the customised reports, we offer the full range of standard Birkman reports, including:

Basics (Career Focus)
Signature (Development and Career Focus)
Insights (Application-specific, With a Choice From 20 Applications)
Mindset (Development Focus)
