The content was very comprehensive and gave me a lot more information about the MBTI assessment and background. It helped me feel prepared to facilitate.

Online modules were easy to understand and navigate. I liked the examples they shared with us too. I also like the Step I and Step II feedback cards as they were very helpful in facilitating the practice feedback sessions.

-Tina N.
HR Manager, Fortune 500 Manufacturing Company

This was the only option presented to me by my company. Although online learning isn’t my preferred style, this program was well done with a mix of media. It was also convenient. Therefore, I think if I had to do this again…I probably would recommend this version.
