About This Emotional Intelligence Coach Practitioner Programme

This is a four-day classroom or 24-hour live online Emotional Intelligence Coach Practitioner certification in India, built on assessment and neuroscience rather than on inspiration. It is also Part 1 of the Licensed Emotional Intelligence Trainer Bootcamp, so the work you do here counts forward rather than being repeated.

You work inside-out. You run the assessments on yourself, use the tools on your own material, and only then learn to take a client through the same framework. No prior experience in coaching, Emotional Intelligence or neuroscience is assumed.

Why This Programme

Emotional Intelligence Training in India, Taught as a Method

01

Assessment before intervention

Self-assessment, 360 degree assessment, the Emotional Style Assessment and the EI Derailer Detector. You learn to read what is actually happening before choosing a tool, which is what separates coaching from encouragement.

02

Neuroscience with named mechanisms

Affect labeling, reappraisal and the shuttling exercise each have a described mechanism in the brain. You learn when each is the right instrument, not a menu of techniques to try in turn.

03

Two certifications, one commitment

An IAPCCT licence and 7 ICF Continuing Coach Education credits from the same programme. If you already hold an ICF credential, the CCE credits count toward renewing it.

04

Every session delivered personally by Vikram Dhar

Not delegated to associates. Facilitated by an ICF Master Certified Coach who trained on Emotional Intelligence with Daniel Goleman.

Who It Is For

Who Benefits From This Programme

Emotional Intelligence is a skill that applies in every setting. The programme is open to anyone, with no prior coaching background assumed.

Coaching Practice

An evidence-based framework

Coaches add a behavioural framework with assessments behind it, so recommendations rest on a diagnosis rather than on intuition.

HR & L&D

Programmes you can run internally

The competency model and 360 degree assessment give HR and L&D professionals a structure for development conversations that holds up with senior stakeholders.

Leadership

Managing yourself under pressure

Trigger listing, reappraisal and the brain's braking system are self-management tools first. Leaders use them on themselves before using them with a team.

Counselling & Therapy

A coaching layer alongside clinical work

Counsellors and therapists add a forward-facing coaching framework that sits alongside clinical practice without duplicating it.

Personal Change

The skills for your own life first

The programme is built inside-out. You run the assessments on yourself and use the tools on your own material before you take anyone else through them.

Entrepreneurs

Relationships that hold under stress

Empathy, trust-building and collaboration tools applied to co-founder, investor and client relationships, where the cost of a bad emotional read is highest.

Dates

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About Emotional Intelligence Certification

No. There is no prerequisite. The programme assumes no background in Emotional Intelligence, coaching or neuroscience, and it is built so that you work on yourself first and learn to coach others second. The programme is regularly attended by working professionals, HR and L&D people, counsellors, therapists and managers as well as practising coaches.
Two, from the same programme. Licensed Emotional Intelligence Coach Practitioner, accredited by IAPCCT. And Certified Emotional Intelligence Coach Practitioner, which carries 7 Continuing Coach Education credits from the International Coaching Federation.
No, and the distinction matters. The programme carries 7 ICF Continuing Coach Education (CCE) credits, which count toward renewing an existing ICF credential. It is not an ICF Level 1 or Level 2 accredited pathway and does not by itself lead to an ACC or PCC credential. For those, see the ICF Level 1 and Level 2 programmes. Participants on our ICF Level 2 (PCC) pathway can count this programme toward that track — see the ICF PCC programme.
Four consecutive days in the classroom, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Or 24 hours live online, delivered as eight evening sessions of three hours, 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM IST. Both formats cover identical content, are instructor-led by Vikram Dhar, and lead to identical certification.
No. The fee is the same for both formats: Rs 48,000 early bird and Rs 58,000 thereafter, inclusive of taxes. Flexible EMI options are available. Choose the format on your schedule and learning style, not on cost.
It means the intervention is chosen because of what is known about how the brain processes emotion, not because it is a familiar technique. Affect labeling, reappraisal and the shuttling exercise each have a described mechanism, and the programme teaches when each one is the right instrument rather than offering them as a menu.
Anyone who works with people. Coaches and trainers adding an evidence-based behavioural framework, HR and L&D professionals, counsellors and therapists, managers and entrepreneurs, and individuals who want the skills for their own life first. No prior coaching background is assumed.
The Licensed Emotional Intelligence Trainer Bootcamp, which continues into EI Master Coach Practitioner and then Licensed EI Trainer. This programme is Part 1 of that ladder, so completing it here counts toward the bootcamp rather than being repeated.
No. Both formats are live and instructor-led, and neither is recorded. The programme is experiential, with breakout groups, demonstrations and reflection sessions, so attendance is what makes it work.
Once registration is complete, fees are non-refundable. If you cannot attend, you may reschedule to a later batch by informing us at least 48 hours before the start date.
Vikram Dhar, an ICF Master Certified Coach who trained on Emotional Intelligence with Daniel Goleman. Every session is delivered by him and is not handed to associates.
Three reasons the programme is regarded as among the best Emotional Intelligence training in India: it is built on assessment and neuroscience rather than on inspiration, it carries both an IAPCCT licence and ICF CCE credits from a single eight-day commitment, and it is a genuine ladder, so the work you do here counts toward the Master Coach Practitioner and Trainer levels rather than being repeated.
