The EI3.0® Credentialing Center issues credentials connected to educational experiences and professional preparation in Emotional Intelligence 3.0®, the science of emotional fitness. EI3.0® focuses on practical capacities that support well-being, relationships, and effective performance, especially under stress.
Some EI3.0® credentials recognize completion of a defined educational program. The EI3.0® Certified Practitioner and EI3.0® Organizational Practitioner credentials also recognize qualified professionals who have completed certification and are authorized to use the EI3.0® performance platform, which includes assessments, dashboards, and the journey to emotional fitness.
EI3.0® Emotional Fitness Explorer
The EI3.0® Emotional Fitness Explorer credential is awarded to high school students who complete How We Show Up: Emotional Intelligence for Real Life.
Explorer recipients have participated in an educational experience that introduces emotional fitness and its relevance to everyday choices, relationships, well-being, and the ability to respond to challenges.
EI3.0® Emotional Fitness Fellow
The EI3.0® Emotional Fitness Fellow credential is awarded to college students who complete a 16-week EI3.0® emotional-fitness course under the requirements established by the delivering institution.
Fellow recipients have completed a sustained educational experience focused on emotional fitness, well-being, relationships, and constructive responses to the academic, personal, and emerging professional pressures of college life.
EI3.0® Certified Practitioner
The EI3.0® Certified Practitioner credential recognizes coaches and well-being professionals who have completed a structured certification program in the Emotional Intelligence 3.0® framework and are authorized to administer EI3.0® assessments and guides.
This credential signifies preparation to help individuals recognize emotional patterns, build practical emotional-fitness capacities, and apply those capacities to strengthen relationships and improve individual and leadership performance, especially under stress.
Individuals may also complete the certification program to support personal emotional-fitness development. Completion of the program alone does not confer the EI3.0® Certified Practitioner credential or authorization to administer EI3.0® assessments and guides.
EI3.0® Organizational Practitioner
The EI3.0® Organizational Practitioner credential recognizes organizational consultants and internal Organizational Design and Organizational Effectiveness practitioners who have completed the EI3.0® Culture Keeper Certification and are authorized to deploy the EI3.0® SmartHR platform within client or employer organizations.
This credential signifies preparation to help organizations build emotional fitness as a foundation for high performance. Org Practitioners are equipped to assess an organization's emotional fitness using the Cultural Dynamics Inventory or the Employee Experience Audit and pre-hire assessments to strengthen hiring and track cultural change, develop employees through individualized development plans, and monitor organizational and leader progress year over year through the SmartHR dashboard.
The Org Practitioner credential is a standalone certification and does not require or confer the EI3.0® Certified Practitioner credential. Authorization to administer EI3.0® individual coaching assessments and guides is granted separately through the Certified Practitioner program.
