Everything DiSC certification through Socratyc costs $3,995 USD plus applicable sales tax, bundling the course and the required Practitioner Experience. Every other common question is answered below, grouped by topic.
Everything DiSC certification is a two-week virtual learning experience from Wiley that prepares you to deliver DiSC workshops and coaching. Through Socratyc, a Wiley Authorized Partner, it covers the DiSC model, theory and research, building custom solutions on Catalyst, the full Everything DiSC application suite, and supervised facilitation and coaching practice. Passing the exam earns the Everything DiSC Certified Practitioner credential.
Everything DiSC certification fits coaches, consultants, HR professionals and L&D leaders who want to deliver DiSC experiences themselves. Coaches and consultants use it to add DiSC work for clients. HR and team leaders use it to implement and scale Everything DiSC inside their own organization instead of hiring an outside facilitator for every session.
An Everything DiSC Certified Practitioner is someone who has completed the Wiley certification course and passed its exam. The course includes five online modules, four live virtual sessions, a group facilitation project and a one-to-one coaching project. The exam measures understanding of key Everything DiSC concepts and requires a score of 80% to pass.
Socratyc has not published a prior-experience requirement for the course, and the program includes facilitation and coaching practice with feedback in a safe environment. Many people use those application projects to build confidence. If you are unsure whether your background fits, ask Socratyc through the contact form at socratyc.com/contactus before you enroll.
You deepen your understanding of the DiSC model, theory, research and key principles. You learn to build custom solutions with Everything DiSC on Catalyst, get familiar with the full Everything DiSC application suite, and practice facilitation and coaching while receiving feedback. You also gain ongoing access to Wiley’s online training center with course content and your peers.
For people who want to deliver Everything DiSC profiles, the best DiSC certification is Wiley’s Everything DiSC certification, because it leads to the Everything DiSC Certified Practitioner credential and covers the full application suite. Through Socratyc it costs $3,995 USD with the required Practitioner Experience bundled, saving $755 against the $4,750 list price, plus ongoing support after you certify.
Everything DiSC certification through Socratyc costs $3,995 USD plus applicable sales tax. That price bundles the certification course (list price $2,550) and the Practitioner Experience (list price $2,200), which Wiley requires together. The combined list price is $4,750, so the Socratyc bundle saves $755 per seat.
Wiley requires both the certification course and the Practitioner Experience, so Socratyc bundles them into one $3,995 USD price. Bought separately at list price, the two cost $2,550 and $2,200, or $4,750 in total. The bundle keeps checkout simple and saves $755 per seat.

DiSC certification is worth it if you will run DiSC sessions regularly, because the one-time $3,995 USD cost replaces paying an outside facilitator for each session. Coaches and consultants gain a credential and a deliverable for clients. If you only need a single workshop, hiring a certified facilitator may be the simpler choice.

Everything DiSC certification is fully online. It is a two-week virtual learning experience that combines self-paced online modules with live, instructor-led virtual sessions. All upcoming cohorts are virtual and scheduled in Central Time, so you can certify from anywhere.

A leadership development program builds the self-awareness and skills people need to lead others well.
