At Metizo, we believe that personal development consists of these elements:
- Stepping back to assess oneself;
- Using personal development tools and methods;
- Creating personal strategies for career and lifestyle success;
- Renewing strategies according to changes and trends;
- Understanding differences and diversity in others and supporting their development strategies.
We implement these steps through our international certification standards.
Metizo Certification
Metizo offers several levels of certification for individuals, and for managers who have trained as mentors. To guarantee equality and clearly define standards, certificates have become an important addition to academic degrees.
Metizo was the first company to create personal development certificates in partnership with business schools. Metizo is also the first company to design programs according to competency levels. Knowing where you are and what is required is necessary in deciding what your learning needs are. Metizo does NOT ask individuals to fit into a pre-defined competency grid - we help you design your own.
The Metizo certificate is recognized by university admission officers and corporate recruiters, and is validated by schools, companies, and government institutions. Using Metizo certification has helped business schools to qualify for the European EQUIS standard for MBA education.
Our levels of certification are suitable for individuals at each level of life and career - from pre-university young adults, undergraduate and Master’s level students, to high potential younger and mid-level employees, and up to senior management.
We help participants at each stage to assess themselves, their lifestyle aspirations, and their career aims via the following steps:
- Responsibility: students take responsibility for their future careers, lifestyle and ethics.
- Diversity: in seeking what is right and wrong, good and bad, important and unimportant, be tolerant and open.
- Portfolio: do not let the method become the goal; use a variety of methods.
- Network: nobody has all the answers; get information and advice from a variety of professionals.
- Aristotle’s principle: personal development is not only cognitive; you should build habits and practices.
- Pascal’s Principle: consider your interests, dreams, and passions as legitimate guides in choosing your directions for the future.
