Why do this course?

TYPE MAPPING is one of the most impactful way to promote both Individual and Team development.  We all know how some of what we do is driven by our context, other behaviour is driven by our preference.  By recognising that ‘what I do’ is not always ‘who I am’ it creates a much more realistic framework for personal growth and behavioural change – and promotes the idea that many personalities can be behaviourally flexible.  Self-awareness is the key to this process and Type Mapping goes beyond other Type approaches (such as MBTI) by offering a powerful and integrated model operationalised through 5 questionnaires.

What is involved?

There is pre-course work accessible online allowing sufficient familiarisation for you to be able to achieve British Psychological Society (BPS) and the European Federation of Psychological Associations (EFPA) certificates of competence in just two days.  The two face-to-face contact days are very practical and provide an excellent opportunity to practice giving and receiving feedback in small groups managed by an experienced tutor.  You get a chance to see others managing the same process in very different ways which makes it an invaluable learning experience that cannot be rivalled with online alternatives.

Who will be your tutors on the course?

This course will be led by Roy Childs – the developer of the Type Mapping system (together with Steve Myers) and who wrote the Chapter describing the approach in the book ‘Psychometrics in Coaching’. Roy is also a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, Consultant Editor for the BPS Test Review process and a BPS Verifier for this level of course.

What are the rewards?

On successful completion you will have access to all 5 questionnaires and, depending on your needs, you can choose two levels of qualification as follows:

Registered Practitioner: delegates become eligible to purchase and use the five Type Mapping online or paper questionnaires. People with prior experience of Type need Day 1 only.  People new to Type need both Day 1 and 2.

BPS and EFPA Certificates: the course is verified to enable course delegates to receive the internationally recognised certificates of competence known as Test User Personality (formerly Level B) if certain pre-requisites have been met
