To qualify for training and certification, applicants are required to have an appropriate level of education and experience in the fields of coaching, consulting, psychology, counseling, corporate consultation, career consultation, educational consultation, and human resources, or in related fields. New applicants who wish to qualify for training are now required to complete training in both individual feedback and group feedback. Individual feedback is a two-hour one-to-one feedback during which the Affiliate interprets an individual’s scores on the Highlands Ability Battery. Group feedback involves the same process of interpretation and explanation by a Highlands Affiliate, but in the context of a group of individuals only some of whom may have received individual feedback.
Training programs are conducted monthly throughout the year. Each training program consists of eight two-hour sessions conducted by telephone. Training is provided by a Highlands representative with years of experience in administering the Highlands CD and feedback and in conducting the Highlands Certification Program
The Highlands training program consists of 1) your own participation in the Highlands Ability Battery and a live feedback; and 2) eight group participatory telephone calls. Each call is approximately 1.5 - 2 hours long. At least one of the eight calls includes instruction on marketing the Battery and feedback. Each trainee is required to prepare two practice feedback reports and to conduct two practice feedback conferences. The feedback conferences are monitored by the Highlands staff.
The cost of training as a Highlands Affiliate is $1,750.
