Online Personality Dimensions Level 1 Certification

Group & One-on-One

Online Individual Training

Dear Murray,

I wanted to let you know how much of an impact you made as a PDs trainer on my career trajectory and professional life. You taught me about the facts and points concerning people’s personalities that were beyond and richer than any textbooks I have read. With your help and mentorship, I started to explore other possibilities and opportunities personally and professionally. Without all your care and attention I would not have found the new outlook I now have about personality dimensions to move forward and find my passion in helping others in the career development milieu. Thank you for everything you’ve done!

Sincerely,

Dr. Harry Nejad Ph.D, MACP., BA., CCPA, REBT

Online Individual Training

I am an Employment Services Coordinator and facilitator for the Youth Job Connection Program in the Wawa, Ontario area. Personality Dimensions is an important tool that we like to use to better know our clients needs, and values when it comes to starting, changing or exploring their careers. Recently, I had the pleasure of working through our program with Murray. Being able to view and complete each online video module of the program online with a mix of online video chats to debrief and ask questions made the process seamless. Working with Murray during this time and completing the Personality Dimensions training was delightful and I would recommend anyone to try the training virtually as I have.

My life, as a mother of 2 young children, can be, as you might guess, very hectic, making this the best venue for me to attend the trainings at my own pace. Murray is an engaging individual whose bubbly personality made it very enjoyable to interact with him during the training. He made himself available via text and for any questions I had and responded to them in a timely manner. Through the Personality Dimensions training, I have been able to learn more about myself and use the tools discovered to accelerate my career. I look forward to using these skills going forward to assist our clients past, present, and future.

Thank you, Murray for offering this training online! It’s been a pleasure learning with you!

Value Added Program

Having been training since January 2001, I have learned a lot over the years. Progressively what I offer has become both stronger and better. There was a learning curve to it. The Value Added program is my way of helping you cut down your learning curve. It is my desire to help you offer a stronger program out of the gate. The following covers the nine pre-recorded video modules you can watch on your own time. Like the Certification Program, there will also be Zoom Call Debriefings…one for sure, perhaps two determined by the participants. Here is the outline.

• Module 1      Introduction
• Module 2      Understanding your PD Online Back Office
• Module 3     Overview of Available Assessments on your PD Site
• Module 4     Age & Stage Development
• Module 5     How You Use Each of the Four Colours
• Module 6     The Johari Window: Insights into Awareness and Team
• Module 7     The Circle That Brings it All Together
• Module 8     Walking You Through YOUR Career Sweet Spot
• Module 9     Creating a Philosophy of Life Statement

Cost

For One Person:

$2197 Cdn + Shipping Your Kit (Pending some factors listed below)

 $1750 US + Shipping Your Kit

NOTE: Shipping rates are by Courier from Toronto Ontario and rates vary for each location sent to

For a Group:

Price decreases from the training ‘For One Person’  amount based on how many are being trained. It can go below $1200 CDN (Training 8 costs less than 4. Contact Murray for more details)

 

The cost depends several factors, including:

• The cost of The Kit itself (described above) plus what ever the shipping fee is to get it to you
• Where you live. In Canada, the fee will be in Canadian Dollars plus appropriate taxes.
• There is a separate US price for anyone trained outside of Canada
• Prices quoted are when paid by email transfer. Other payment methods will be marginally higher. Payments such as Credit Card will be via the Square pay processor in Canada; for International trainees, the Stripe Pay Processor will be used paid in US dollars.
• If you work in an organization where more than one person can be trained, the training cost will decrease based on how many participants attend
• The price for one person is higher because during the same amount of time, I am working with you personally and not with many people who each pay a group price at time of purchase.

 

The cost will also be dependent upon the following 3 methods of getting certified:

• The Full Training Program
  • Starting from the Very Beginning
• Bridging Sessions
  • For people with a certification in a recognized type or temperament instrument such as MBTI or True Colors, and proof of qualification is required. The program is usually 6 to 8 hours
• A Refresher
  • You’ve been certified but dormant, forgotten some things and need to be updated

 We can discuss the specific cost for you specifically and work out the details – just contact me below!
