According to Mark H McCormack, author of “What They Don’t
Teach You at
The DISC Certification introduces you to the field of
human behavioural science in an easy to grasp presentation. The training focuses
on the four personalities model of Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and
Compliance, called DISC in short. The course covers the way of our actions, its
interpretation, administration, application and uses in our day-to-day
situations. Participants will learn how to read people, communicate more
effectively, appreciate perspectives of people, motivate, avoid unnecessary
conflicts and increase effectiveness. The instrument is internationally used in
the areas of Human Resource management, counseling, coaching, and
consulting. On completion participants will be certified as a Human Behaviour
Analyst.
The course has been so successful in
Introduction
DISC provides an insight into an individual style that is more than adequate to predict the likely trends of people’s behaviour. It does this by evaluating four key dimensions in an individual. At its most basic level, DISC measures four factors of an individual’s behaviour: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance. The real power of DISC comes from its ability to interpret the relations between these dimensions. How a high “Influence” person who has an equal high level of “Dominance”, will behave differently to an “Influence” individual without that “Dominance”. Using this information, DISC can be used to describe a person’s general approach, including their motivations and dislikes, strengths and potential risks, and some of the basic assumptions they make about other people. The instrument is internationally used in the areas of Human Resource management, counseling, coaching and consulting. On completion, participants will be accredited as a 'Certified Human Behaviour Consultant'. "The 'Certified Human Behaviour Consultant' title is jointly awarded by 'The Leadership Institute of America' and 'Management Centre of Asia Pte Ltd'".

Testimonies of Accredited Users
“The DISC accreditation course was handled in personalized approach allowing a more interactive learning between trainer and trainees. The trainer Daniel Teo was hands on and obviously experienced in the area of personal profiling tools. Though the course duration was 2 days only, I found the programme substantial and with frequent practice DISC will be very useful in the areas of training, recruitment, performance management, career management, applying appropriate leadership styles, approaching selling, and facilitating team building.”
Ms Maria Rosario Che Yaneza, Senior Consultant
“Knowing the DISC has certainly been very useful to me, both on a work and personal level. As a trainer, it is important that I am able to communicate and engage my participants in a manner that they are responsive to. Knowing the DISC has increased my effectiveness and versatility in this aspect. As a result, my ability to connect with my audience was raised to a new and exciting level! With the DISC knowledge I am better equip to understand different behavioural inclinations and communication styles of people and, I’ve been able to match expectations in terms of learning and interaction preferences. This accreditation course is a must for anyone who wants a fresh insight into understanding people better!”
Ms Christina Seet, Regional Director, Organisational Development, Jebsen & Jessen (SEA) Pte Ltd
“During the tow days of DISC accreditation training , I learned about a number of strengths I have including strengths other types bring into a team context. I realised how complementing each other with their own strengths can lead to team performance and productivity. What seemed to be conflicts were really just different ways of approaching an issue – this insight helped me become more accommodative of team diversity. I also learned about how much have I adapted and what other ways can I adapt in order succeed in certain contexts. The gaps I discovered between my perceived self and real self were insightful – I got more clarity on why certain things turned out to be that way. The contribution of ideas from other participants were a source for my learning in addition to the facilitator. Daniel Teo, the facilitator demonstrated thorough understanding of DISC, both theory and applications. His broader experience with the world of psychometric instruments added flavour to the discussions. His style of pulling back during discussions, helped the team learn from each other and his openness to ideas helped each and every one to contribute from their experiences. I will remember the two days of full filled learning as a major step in my career growth.”
Mr. Jayan Warrier, Management Consultant
"The 2 days DISC
Accreditation Training was a wow experience, both for me and my wife, Suann.
Particularly during the concluding session - when I was able to write a one
page description on the behavioural style of one of the participants, based on
his graphs. I was truly amazed. Daniel is a great facilitator
and possesses a well-deep knowledge and appreciation of psychometric process and
instruments. He listens well and gathers the input of the
participants to enhance our learning from him and from one another. I do
believe we learned much those 2 days.
It was a time of
self-discovery, especially when I learned of my behaviour style: strengths -
non-strengths - leadership style & needs. Beyond that, I was able to
appreciate others in my home, the work place and in social context. How and why
they behave the way they behave. This understanding will enable me to deal
with conflicts that may appear in our interpersonal relationships in diverse
situations. Another discovery I made is that I can learn to manage my
behaviour according to the situations that I face daily. This knowledge
has liberated me to understand that behaviours are dependent on environmental
factors and though I may be adapting to the needs in different situations, I am
basically who I am.
My wife and I will
remember the two days of fun-filled learning and interestingly we still do
talk about Daniel's style of training and facilitation."
