The instrument. The methodology. The ability to deploy both.
TRE Certification trains you to administer and debrief the assessment independently — and to coach to what it reveals, not just present it.
You already know how to sense where a client is. Certification makes that layer visible.
Most coaches working at the developmental level can feel where a client stands. Certification gives you the ability to map it — named, evidenced, and shared with the client — and to deploy the instrument inside your own practice with full autonomy. It takes you inside the instrument, further than we publish: how the reading works, what the scoring weighs, where its limits are.
Walk into every engagement already knowing where the developmental leverage points are. Leave knowing what moved.
Three shifts that compound the longer you practise with the instrument.
01
Deploy independently
Administer and debrief assessments in your own practice, on your own clients, under your own brand — with the full framework behind you.
02
Coach to the profile
Not just present the map — work it. Certification trains the coaching moves that turn a developmental read into a client’s growth arc.
03
Join a cohort worth knowing
Certified practitioners share case supervision, referrals, and a standard of craft — the community is part of the credential.
Established practitioners ready to deploy an instrument independently.
01
Senior coaches with established practices
You have the clients and the craft. Certification adds the instrument — and the evidence layer your engagements have been missing.
02
Vertical-development practitioners
Formally trained in Kegan, Cook-Greuter, or Torbert lineages — and looking for a working instrument that honors the theory.
03
OD consultants and leadership advisors
Working at the organizational level, where a structured developmental read changes succession, transformation, and top-team work.
04
Coaches expanding into high-stakes work
Moving from individual engagements toward organizational and executive contexts — where the decisions carry more weight and need more structure.
The contexts where the instrument changes what’s possible.
In selection contexts the read is one input among several, never the sole basis — with validated-instrument partners in the stack where the buyer’s process requires it.
Investment
Pricing discussed during your booking call.
We scope certification to your practice and the kind of clients you serve. The structure: a one-time training fee, a per-assessment revenue share at a greater rate than membership, ongoing community access, and case supervision — with practice reads built in, so nothing touches a paying client until you’re fluent.
