Credentialed expertise
A formal HCI credential you can put on your LinkedIn, your business card, and your professional bio. Recognized internationally across legal, mental health, HR, and ombuds settings.
HCI's Flagship Credentials
Credentialed expertise in high-conflict work.
For professionals — attorneys, clinicians, HR, ombuds, and coaches who want their high-conflict expertise to be formally recognized.
Flexible, self-paced certification programs taught by Bill Eddy and Megan Hunter, designed for professionals at all experience levels. Complete your coursework on your schedule, in as little as a few weeks or at a pace that works for you. Upon successful completion, earn an HCI professional certification, a digital badge, and a public listing in our Find-a-Provider directory, plus ongoing access to training materials and a professional learning community. Continuing education (CE) credits are available for eligible programs and professions.
The deeper credential, not the one-day workshop.
Why certify
Three things you get that a workshop doesn't deliver.
Workshops teach you a method. Certification proves you've mastered it — and gives you the credential, the community, and the visibility that comes with that.
Ongoing access
Lifetime access to the materials, downloadable worksheets, periodic refreshers, and a private cohort community of fellow certified professionals.
Public directory listing
After certification, you're eligible for listing in HCI's public Find-a-Provider directory — visible to attorneys, judges, courts, and individuals searching for trained help.
Three certification tracks
Pick the track that maps to your work.
Each certification is tailored to a specific professional context. The underlying HCI methods are the same — the cases, the language, and the assessment are tuned for your discipline.

What professionals say
Trained by HCI, in their words.
"I've practised family law for over 15 years. This training by HCI provides invaluable insights and tools for every lawyer who sees themselves as a problem-solver rather than a gladiator. The tools work even better with your average client."
M.J. — Principal, Amicable Family Law · Perth, Australia
"I always walk away with concrete strategies for approaching these cases. The other professionals — lawyers, therapists, mediators — make me feel like I'm not facing this alone."
A.D. — Family Law Attorney
"This training has great value for clinicians working with any level of conflict or dissention between parents who are navigating the waters of divorce. The focus this process provides is a gift to both providers and parents. But most importantly, when parents learn these valuable skills, they are changing the trajectory of their children's futures forever."
J.G. — LPC, Practice Owner
