EI accreditation

Become an EI expert

You can become accredited with the emotional and social competency inventory (ESCI) and the emotional competency inventory (ECI) by attending a two-day program that covers the concepts involved and focuses on how to deliver the feedback. You’ll also get practical experience, learning how it feels for the individuals who you are working with. These programs are not about teaching you coaching skills; they are designed to give you the understanding and insight you need to make best use of the tools.

To attend the accreditation program you must meet one or more of the following criteria:
  • licensed psychologist
  • graduate training in psychology, social work or a related field
  • 3+ years experience in coaching, executive coaching or internal HR.

Important note: restrictions apply to some countries and a screening process is in place. Meeting these requirements does not guarantee entry into a program. Attending the program does not imply automatic accreditation; participants must be able to apply the tool in a feedback situation.

Benefits of accreditation:
As a Hay Group accredited practitioner you’ll learn more about the concepts and research behind our emotional and social competency inventory (ESCI) and our emotional competency inventory (ECI), as well as how to deliver feedback. You will also receive:

  • direct access to our diagnostics processing team who can support you in collecting data and producing feedback reports and specific data analyses
  • membership of the Hay Group accredited network
  • quarterly newsletters, articles and invitations to events.

Ultimately, your clients and your organization can be confident that you have the skills to provide feedback on competencies that directly affect business performance. And your coaching and development work can draw on benchmark data from thousands of managers and on Hay Group’s wide range of learning resources.
