Our methodology

The training is delivered 100% online through Blackboard, an innovative platform used by the best schools and universities in the world. You will have access to all content at any time and from any device.

Our methodology combines practice, scientific evidence and continuous support to develop emotional and professional competencies.

The process begins with an initial and final assessment, and includes the SPP (Personalized Psychology Session), an individual video call to learn about your starting point and identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

Experiential learning

You practice each tool to truly integrate it and apply it with impact in your life and profession.

Clear and useful video lessons

Content explained by psychologists with real cases, exercises and applied examples.

Live classes

Dynamic spaces to resolve doubts, practice techniques and learn in community.

Community and continuous support

Direct messaging and close support from the teaching team.

Real support

Personalized monitoring throughout the entire process so that you move forward with confidence and motivation.

Your learning starts with you: science, clarity and a personal map to move forward

At IEPP we believe that no training should be the same for everyone. That's why, in addition to a rigorous and practical program, we include something that no other center offers: a 50-minute individual session with a psychologist specializing in the FORTE methodology, designed to help you guide your learning from your own starting point.

Because when you understand your strengths, your evolution accelerates.

FORTE: a test with recent scientific validation

The focus of this session is the FORTE Test, our psychological strengths evaluation tool. Key news: its scientific validation has just been published in an impact journal, supporting the solidity of the methodology that you will use during your training.
This means that you will not only learn with a science-based approach: you will be working with a scientifically validated tool exclusive to the IEPP.

What happens in your Personalized Psychology Session?
1. A deep and personalized analysis
You will review your FORTE results with a professional expert in the methodology. You will obtain a clear and understandable x-ray of your strengths, your functioning patterns and your emotional and professional starting point.

2. Your development map
You are not going to advance blindly. In the session you will build a personalized roadmap: what to focus on, what skills to enhance and how to take advantage of your psychological resources throughout the training.

3. Direct connection with your growth in the Expert
The SPP is not an add-on. It is the first strategic step that will make each module, each practice and each tool of the program fit you and have a real impact on your life and work.

An approach that prioritizes your well-being
We believe that emotional well-being is the basis of performance, communication and leadership. That is why this session allows you to start your training from a fundamental place: deep knowledge of yourself, accompanied by a methodology with scientific support and a psychologist to guide you.

An investment that changes the way you learn
Training at IEPP is not just about accessing top-level knowledge.
It is accessing a process that makes you the protagonist of your own development.

The Personalized Psychology Session is more than a service: it is the beginning of more conscious, more effective and more transformative learning.
