Certification & Accreditation
Train your own people to deliver them — and own the capability.
Everything DiSC® certification, Insights Discovery® accreditation and The Five Behaviours® certification — led by Ireland’s only dual-authorised partner.
Virtual cohorts across Irish, UK and US time zones. Partner support before, during and after.
Three official programmes. One partner who has built and run all of them inside enterprise.
Most trainers certify you and wave goodbye. I established Insights Discovery at 3M and Everything DiSC at HubSpot before becoming a partner, so I coach you through your first rollout — not just your exam.
Authorised partner
Ireland’s only dual Everything DiSC® and Insights Discovery® partner, and an authorised Five Behaviours® partner.
The short version
Honestly, not much. Wiley uses the word certification for Everything DiSC and The Five Behaviours. Insights uses accreditation for Insights Discovery. Both mean the same thing: you, or people on your team, qualify to deliver the tool inside your own organisation — running sessions, debriefing profiles and building the capability in-house instead of buying it in each time.
We start with the outcome you want, not the tool. On a short call I’ll point you to the right one — or tell you if certifying isn’t the answer yet.
You complete the official Wiley or Insights programme — virtual or in person — and earn the credential.
I stay alongside you before, during and after: planning your rollout, reviewing your first session, and supplying profiles at partner rates.
Three programmes
Each one trains your people to deliver a different tool. They’re separate programmes — I’ll help you choose, not blend them.

In their words
From people David has certified and the teams who’ve brought these tools in-house.
Working with David through my Everything DiSC certification was an incredibly valuable experience. He brings a practical, real-world lens to everything, showing you not just how to use DiSC, but how to design sessions that truly shift behaviour. He continues to be a trusted advisor and mentor as I facilitate workshops for global clients.
David certified one of our HR Business Partners to deliver the programme. Through his coaching and ongoing mentorship, he has empowered us to implement DiSC on a larger scale while giving our HRBP an outstanding professional development experience.
From the start, David gave me the confidence that certification was the right move. He’s always available, no question ever feels like too much. Before my first workshop he reviewed my material and shared feedback. I went in feeling confident, and actually excited rather than nervous.
Common questions
Very little. Wiley uses the word certification for Everything DiSC and The Five Behaviours; Insights uses accreditation for Insights Discovery. Both mean the same thing: you, or people on your team, qualify to deliver the tool inside your own organisation rather than buying delivery in each time.
No. As an authorised partner I can run Everything DiSC, Insights Discovery and Five Behaviours workshops for your teams without you certifying anyone. Certification or accreditation is the right step when you want the capability in-house, so your own people can deliver across the organisation.
Start with the outcome. Everything DiSC gives a practical everyday language for working styles on the Catalyst platform. Insights Discovery builds deep self-awareness through a four colour energy model that scales across an organisation. The Five Behaviours fixes how a single team works together: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability and results. On a short call I’ll point you to the right one, or tell you if certifying is not the answer yet.
Everything DiSC and Five Behaviours certifications run as live virtual Wiley cohorts year-round, across Irish, UK and US time zones. Insights Discovery accreditation is delivered by Insights face-to-face or virtually. I support you before, during and after, whichever format you choose.
Pricing depends on the programme and whether you certify one person or a team. Each programme page sets out the detail, and I’ll give you a clear quote on enquiry. Your main ongoing cost afterwards is profiles or credits at partner rates, so the more you deliver in-house, the better the economics.
I support you in three stages: before, helping you choose the right programme and plan your internal rollout; during, coordinating enrolment and preparing you for the cohort; and after, reviewing your first sessions, supplying profiles at partner rates and staying on as a mentor as you build the capability.
Start here
Start with a conversation. Tell me what you’re trying to build in-house, and I’ll recommend the right programme — or tell you honestly if certifying isn’t the move yet.
Tell me your goal and timeframe. I’ll reply personally.
