What Practitioners Say
Hear from accredited practitioners around the world about the impact of TMS Global tools on their practice and their clients.
The facilitators were excellent in delivering the information clearly and in a well-organized manner. There was plenty of opportunity for sharing experiences, and also time for having a laugh! I felt the four days were well-paced and there was always time to ask questions. Using the material provided at the TMS Workshop, I was able to facilitate the Team Roles session of my leadership program successfully, and the feedback from participants was very positive.
The TMS Accreditation Workshop was very practical and equipped me with the information and confidence to be able to facilitate the Team Management Profile. So far I have found this tool to be great in assisting with team development, with staff gaining an insight into the different preferences and how best to pace team members, given where they sit on the Wheel. I have also been impressed by the on-going support TMS give their members.
Their customer service is incredible – no one else compares. such a great team of people to work with.
The TMS Accreditation Workshop was invaluable. Our trainer tailored the three-day one-on-one course to suit my needs and my learning style, and he paced my understanding of the topics very well. No chance to daydream though! I had to run my first workshop the day following my training. I felt very confident with the content and the presentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does accreditation take?
Training duration by product: TMP 1-2 days; QO2 1 day; LLP|360 1 day; WoWV 1 day.
Do I need to be accredited in all products?
You don’t need to start with everything at once. Most practitioners begin with TMP as the foundation, then add other tools as their practice or organisational needs deepen. While each tool delivers value on its own, the real depth comes from combining them.
Is there an exam or assessment?
No. You’ll demonstrate competence through practice facilitation, case interpretation and peer feedback throughout the workshop.
What if I’m not currently working as a consultant or in HR?
That’s fine. Accreditation is open to business leaders, managers, coaches, educators and anyone committed to developing teams. You don’t need a consulting practice to get accredited.
Can I deliver TMS Global products before completing accreditation?
No. You must be fully accredited before administering TMS Global profiles or diagnostics or facilitating debriefs. This ensures quality, ethical practice and protects the integrity of the methodology.
What ongoing requirements are there?
Your accreditation is lifelong with no annual renewal fees or continuing education requirements. However, we strongly encourage ongoing participation in webinars, refreshers and practitioner events to maintain skill and stay current.
What support do I get after accreditation?
Master Trainer consultation for complex cases, practitioner community peer support, webinars and ongoing training, access to updated research and materials, and technical support for the TMS Global Portal.
Is accreditation recognised internationally?
Yes. TMS Global accreditation is globally recognised across all 190 countries where TMS Global operates. Your accreditation allows you to deliver TMS Global products anywhere in the world.
Can I become a TMS Global Associate?
