SEI Coach Certification
The EQ Assessment Certification for Coaches
Deepen your coaching with a powerful toolset to measure and develop emotional intelligence
A complete suite of tools to measure and develop the key drivers of performance, the SEI assessments help professionals get better results on the “people-side.”
Unlike other psychometric tools which provide an abstract diagnosis, the SEI provides practical feedback and a process for action. Created by world leaders in emotional intelligence development, these tools are both statistically rigorous and highly practical – which is why they’re chosen by leading organizations including FedEx, the US Navy, Daimler Benz, Kodak, and Microsoft.
Consultants, trainers, coaches, educators, and HR professionals use the SEI for training, coaching, performance management, selection, and development. Offering eight different reports (in multiple languages), the toolset is adaptable to a wide range of people in every sector. The Six Seconds model is substantive, easy to understand, and actionable – all the SEI tools use this model, as do a wide array of development tools and programs.
A Complete Suite
The SEI toolset includes the self-report SEI (with five different reports available), the SEI 360 multi-rater feedback tool, and the SEI-YV youth assessment. These tools align with Six Seconds’ broad range of training and development tools and programs.
The SEI is ideal for those seeking a practical, in-depth, rigorous, complete range of assessments that help people put emotional intelligence into action.

To complete the certification process, participants must complete online pre-work, attend the full program, practice five SEI debriefs, and effectively debrief a member of the Six Seconds’ team by phone (this process is included in the price of the course).
