Certification Programs
To view the Certification Program outline for each instrument, please click on its corresponding logo below.
Each instrument represented by CPP Asia Pacific addresses one or more areas that impact individual, team and organisational performance. These may include leadership and coaching, team development, communication, conflict management, change management, career exploration, recruitment and selection and talent retention.
The majority of instruments are what we call ‘Restricted’ and you need to be trained and certified to access them. This will ensure both that they are being used for the purpose for which they were designed and that they are being administered and interpreted correctly.
CPP Asia Pacific offers Certification Programs that will qualify you in the professional and ethical administration of these instruments.
Upon successful completion of any of our programs, you will gain a certificate of qualification to purchase and use the corresponding instrument and its reports.

EQ-i 2.0®
Maximise effectiveness with one of the most widely used Emotional Intelligence instruments.
Why the EQ-i 2.0® Instrument?
Emotional intelligence is a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.
The EQ-i 2.0® instrument builds on the success and insights of the BarOn EQ-i® instrument by introducing an updated model of emotional intelligence.
It introduces some differences that stem from changes, based on extensive feedback, to assessment items, updated norms and rigorous reliability and validity studies.
Please take a moment now to view this video presented by Brian Lawrence, Principal Consultant - New Zealand, where Brian introduces the benefits of certification in the EQ-i 2.0® instrument.
Applications of Emotional Intelligence:
- Leadership Development
- Executive Coaching
- Individual Development
- Team Development
- Organisational Development
- Student development
- Recruitment and Selection
- Career Exploration
While emotional intelligence is not the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is not a static factor - to the contrary, one’s emotional intelligence changes over time and can be developed in targeted areas.
