DISC Virtual Certification

Virtual DISC Certification

Virtual DISC Certification is the perfect option for anyone looking for one-on-one DISC training. An added option is that our virtual certification can also be tailored to small groups. Do you have time constraints or do you want to avoid travel costs? You have many benefits when choosing our Virtual DISC Certification.

All of us find it hard to squeeze one more thing in our busy schedules. The Virtual DISC Certification allows you to participate wherever and whenever you choose. As a result, you enjoy highly interactive sessions with your trainer directly from your computer or tablet. The Virtual DISC Certification gives you the same high quality training as a group or face-to-face session. You set the time and day. We take care of the rest.

Your trainer contacts you prior to the first virtual session so you are already interacting before your training! At this time you can ask specific questions that help us customize your training. Tell us your goals and what you want to take away from the training. This gives you the optimal session targeted to what you need to know. We know your time is valuable. You and your DISC trainer complete your training in two, 2.5-hour sessions. Ultimately, you’ll find that these flexible sessions are designed to make it easy for you to effectively bring DISC into your practice.

You will earn for 5 (General) HRCI or SHRM recertification credit hours from your Virtual DISC Certification.

President

Extended DISC North America, Inc.

Markku Kauppinen is the founder and president of Extended DISC North America, Inc. His focus and passion are to help executives to make better decisions about their employees, teams and organization.  Markku’s specialty is to help executives to accomplish this by providing them with specific information to understand the causes of the problems and to make business decisions with confidence.

Markku’s background and education are in corporate finance where he became accustomed to making sound financial decisions based on accurate information. He quickly identified that there was a very limited amount of information available when decisions were made about the most valuable asset, organization’s employees.  In addition, the limited information that was available was not clear, concise or user-friendly.  As a result, poor decisions with significant financial consequences were made frequently.  It was clear that intuition and experience alone were never consistently enough.

In 1997, Extended DISC North America, Inc. introduced a revolutionary type of information to help executives to better lead their organizations. Since then, Markku has become recognized as the foremost authority in the Extended DISC® Assessments.

Markku was born in Helsinki, Finland and emigrated to the U.S. in 1984.  He has a Bachelor’s degree in Management and Marketing and a MBA in Finance.
