MBTI® Qualifying Training


There are two ways to qualify, or become eligible, to use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® assessment.

One is to take a certification workshop specific to the MBTI tool. Zeisset Associates were providers of such workshops (until 2009 called “qualifying workshops”) for twenty-two years, but now certification workshops are offered only by the publisher, CPP, and by two organizations they license–AMA and CAPT.

Zeisset Associates now offer the second option for eligibility to use the instrument: through a graduate level course in tests and measurement at an accredited college or university. We provide such a course at Doane College in Lincoln, Nebraska, where Ray Zeisset is an adjunct associate professor in the Master of Arts in Counseling Program.

We are currently scheduled to offer “Professional Use of the MBTI and Other Instruments” twice this coming year:

June 8-12, 2009
January 4-8, 2010.

The course includes one follow-up session several weeks later.

The June course involves

  • pre-study (about 30 hours),
  • five days of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. classes,
  • development of a project (for example, an outline and handouts for presenting the MBTI theory to others), and
  • a follow-up session for class members to present their projects.

The January course involves the same pre-study and content but in a format of five evening classes, Monday through Friday, 6:00 - 10:30 p.m., Saturday, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, 1:00 - 7:00 p.m., with a follow-up session for class members to present their projects.

Benefits of the course include

  • all essential information for use of the MBTI instrument that is in a certification workshop,
  • eligibility to use not only the MBTI tool but also other Level B psychological instruments,
  • three hours of graduate level academic credit, transferable to another institution for those involved in a program elsewhere (or convertible into CEUs),
  • competitive, cost-effective fees. Currently, tuition is $810 and the fee for books and materials is $90.

A person who is not a current Doane student can register for the course by applying as a non-degree student. The current fee for this application is $25.00.

For further information about logistics or to register for the course, contact Chris.Jones@Doane.edu or telephone 402-466-4774 and ask for Chris Jones.
