MBTI® Master Practitioner Credential Program

How to Become an MBTI® Master Practitioner

When you become an MBTI® Master Practitioner you differentiate yourself from other professionals through a credential that validates your commitment to a deeper understanding of psychological type.

The process for becoming an MBTI® Master Practitioner allows you to apply as soon as you have successfully completed an MBTI® Certification Program. After your application has been accepted, you can begin to meet the advanced educational and experiential requirements.

You will also have access to a convenient online way of tracking your progress through the Professional Experience Log, a handy tool that allows you to enter and track the completed coursework and professional experience required for the MBTI® Master Practitioner credential.
