The Bates ExPI™ is for coaches who want to bring innovation and fresh insights to their practices, whether internal to the company, or in their private practice. Adding the ExPI to the coaching toolbox complements your assessment strategy and works well as an advanced instrument paired with psychometric assessments, as well as company 360 instruments.  It has been proven to align closely with and provide deeper meaning to interpreting leadership competency models. The course also gives you a chance to meet and interact with highly qualified, seasoned coaches who are joining our growing, global community of practice to share ideas and learn about new research.

The Bates ExPI™ Assessment Certification program is open to both independent coaches and in-house talent and development leaders. To become certified in the Bates ExPI™ Assessment, the coach must:
