Get certified at our Hogan certification workshops

The two-day Hogan training workshops cover:

• The Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), which evaluates personality characteristics that people need to get along and get ahead
• The Hogan Development Survey (HDS), which identifies factors that impede career success
• The Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI), which identifies individuals’ drivers and core values

What’s included?

• Full HPI, HDS & MVPI Leadership Forecast Reports
• In-depth guidance on interpreting relationships between all three tools
• Opportunities to practise your new skills in a series of interactive exercises, covering interpretation and feedback, with post-course support from our expert consultants
• One complimentary online use of the HPI, HDS & MVPI per person to practise feedback post completion of the course
• An introduction to The Dark Side of Personality
• Full engagement with the consultant’s extensive practical knowledge as well as with your peers on the course
• Exclusive access to PCL’s training materials, tool interpretation and product resources designed using our in-depth knowledge and experience of Hogan assessments
• Electronic versions of the HPI, HDS & MVPI manuals
• Certificate on completion
• Post-training support including complimentary online sessions (Hogan Power Hours) and regular in-person events
• Digital certification badge for use on social media, within your email signature, or anywhere you want to use a downloadable image or an embed code.
• OPTIONAL: Prior to the workshop, you will receive the option to order a HPI/HDS/MVPI Insight Report Package + Flash, with a 25% discount

In advance of the course, you’ll need to complete a short online pre-course module, and after attending the workshop you’ll need to complete a post-course ‘Test of Understanding’ – after this, you’ll be fully qualified in the HPI, HDS and MVPI tools.

This one-day workshop is your opportunity, as a fully-qualified Hogan user (HPI, HDS and MVPI qualifications are pre-requisites to this workshop), to hone your feedback skills and expand your knowledge.

This experiential workshop provides you with knowledge of advanced feedback models, how to integrate Hogan data with other inputs, tips for creating developmental action plans, and an understanding of best practices for delivering Hogan feedback.

The workshop will allow you to:

• Learn a framework for delivering Hogan feedback
• Obtain information about feedback types, debrief models, and feedback delivery best practices
• Learn how to troubleshoot common problems
• Practice conducting a feedback session in a supervised setting
• Practice developmental action planning based on Hogan data

Is this the right course for me?

If you’re relatively new to delivering feedbacks, especially to top-level leaders using sophisticated psychometric assessments, this course will help to give you the confidence to be an effective and personable coach. This workshop covers the fundamentals of setting up and delivering a professional feedback session, so may not be suitable if you are a highly experienced coach.

Workshop Cost: £1,175 plus VAT | Booking packages available

This one-day workshop is a hands-on, fast-paced session that prepares you for interpreting scale combinations more skillfully, connecting scales across assessments and interpreting complex combinations with ease.

You’ll be addressing scale and subscale level data to draw effective developmental conclusions, and aid in getting the most value from the Hogan suite of assessments.

You’ll advance your interpretation skills, plus:

• Practice using subscales and interpreting scale combinations
• Learn how to resolve competing or complex scale combinations
• Compare and contrast your own interpretive insights with Hogan expert interpretations
• Connect Hogan data points across scales and assessments for more robust interpretations
• Learn advanced interpretation techniques around low HDS and low MVPI scores

Is this the right course for me?

If you’re looking for a more sophisticated approach to the Hogan assessments and feel that a deeper knowledge of the scales, subscales and their combinations across the entire Hogan suite would be useful, this course is for you. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to develop your interpretation skills across a number of case studies, combining the HPI, HDS and MVPI tools.

Workshop Cost: £1,175 plus VAT | Booking packages available

Gillian Hyde’s HDS Masterclass provides the opportunity to explore the territory of the Hogan Development Survey – positioning the instrument, linking research findings to practice, discussing combinations of scales, sharing interpretive advice, watching real life profiles act out their dark sides, and giving you the confidence to uncover more nuanced information on the Dark Side of personality. Dark sides which are likely to surface within the current climate of stress and uncertainty.

The session will also cover:

• Score interpretations: How do we look at low scores? What if a profile has no high score?
• An in-depth review of each scale
• Advice for giving feedback to a resistant participant
• Coaching using a dark side profile
• The relationship between the HDS and the Bright Side of Personality
• Recap of recent HDS research

If you’re a HDS trained user and looking for more in-depth interpretation skills, this is the perfect opportunity to learn from one of the world’s most experienced HDS users.

HPI refresh | HDS refresh | MVPI refresh course (pre-recorded individual online sessions) | £150 + VAT

Feeling a little rusty about the HPI, HDS or MVPI? Maybe it’s been a while since you used one of the instruments? These courses reintroduce the main scales and subscales of each Hogan tool and bring you up to date and ready to use them in your practice. Each course is available as a standalone unit so you can update yourself on a single instrument.

Hogan Suite Refresh (pre-recorded online session) | £350 + VAT

Maybe you trained in all 3 Hogan instruments and haven’t used any of them for a while? This course combines the individual HPI, HDS and MVPI refresher courses and adds a case study profile interpretation discussion to explore the connections across the three Hogan instruments.

Hogan Feedback Practicum | £400 + VAT

The Hogan Feedback Practicum Course is recommended for Hogan certified individuals who wish to increase their proficiency in delivering feedback to candidates using the 3 core Hogan assessments (HPI, HDS, MVPI). Delegates will prepare for a feedback session using the Flash report of a fictitious candidate and the suggested PCL resources, and then deliver a 1-hour virtual practice feedback session. One of our Hogan Consultant Psychologists will role-play the character while also observing the feedback. After the 1-hour feedback the consultant will spend the last 30-minutes of the call discussing what went well and what feedback skills could be further improved, while also providing additional interpretation and best practice tips for future reference.

Please note, you must already be certified in the Hogan tools in order to access the refresher courses. If our database does not have a record of your training, you will receive an email requesting further details of your qualification before proceeding.
