BASIS-A Training
Certification Program
The BASIS-A Inventory© is a one-of-a-kind strengths-based assessment that has many applications and uses across multiple fields. It measures the Adlerian concept of lifestyle, which is synonymous with personality traits, but yet it is so much deeper. Think about how and more importantly why you do things the way you do - your lifestyle is at the root of all of your thoughts, decisions, and behaviors.
Dr. Susan Belangee is the leading expert on using the BASIS-A Inventory© with individuals, couples, groups, businesses, and organizations. If you want to learn how to use it in your career, whether that is in the counseling field or elsewhere, sign up for a training class.
The BASIS-A Basics Course (Level 1) - 18 CEs

Prior to each supervision session, you will review and critique the recorded session and submit a summary report in advance.
