New Canadian Locations Announced for Myers-Briggs Training in 2011

Online, October 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Psychometrics Canada, a leading assessment publisher and consultant for the development and selection of people in business, government and education, today announced dates for its complete 2011 Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) training program (http://www.psychometrics.com/en-us/training.htm). This year workshops are being offered in new locations across Canada including Mississauga and Winnipeg. The program includes MBTI Step 1 & Step 2 Certification and a variety of fresh MBTI advanced workshops. The MBTI® Certification (http://www.psychometrics.com/en-us/mbti_certification.htm) program teaches human resource, training and organizational development professionals and counsellors how to successfully administer and interpret MBTI® Step I and Step II assessments and reports.

"We continue to see high demand for our training programs. Our participants come from major corporations, non-profits, government and education. The variety of experience creates a unique and engaging learning environment for everyone," says Mark Fitzsimmons, President of Psychometrics Canada. "Adding Mississauga and Winnipeg means participants now have the choice of ten different locations across Canada to complete the MBTI Certification Program."

Increasing numbers of Canadian companies are using personality type to improve efficiency and effectiveness of their workforces through improved team performance, communication, succession planning and conflict resolution.

The MBTI assessment is a powerful and versatile indicator of personality type used throughout the world in a variety of languages for individual, group and organizational development.

Upon successful completion of the workshop, participants receive a MBTI Step I Certificate and a MBTI Step II Certificate of completion, which enables them to purchase and use all the MBTI Step I and Step II assessments and reports. Plus it qualifies for CHRP recertification points.
