Overview
Course description
Positive Psychology: An Approach to Happiness
The Positive Psychology training program is based on the idea that every individual possesses the capacity to cultivate happiness and share positive emotions with those around them. However, modern society—with its constraints and frustrations—tends to erode this natural optimism. Professional demands, toxic relationships, and daily pressures can generate a spiral of negative thoughts. This training is designed to help understand and reverse these tendencies by leveraging positive psychology.
The Principles of Positive Psychology
Positive psychology sets itself apart from traditional approaches by focusing on what works well in our lives. Instead of concentrating solely on problems, this discipline proposes strengthening the positive aspects that bring satisfaction and joy. This paradigm encourages adopting a more optimistic outlook on life by learning to value successes, happy moments, and personal qualities, while acknowledging difficulties without letting them dominate. The goal is to enhance resilience to better face obstacles while prioritizing happiness.
An Accessible and Structured Training
This program consists of 10 modules accessible to everyone, with no specific academic prerequisites. It is specially designed for those who wish to acquire the practical and theoretical tools of positive psychology. Participants will learn concepts such as self-esteem, motivation, optimism, and coaching techniques. Emphasis is placed on practice through concrete exercises, clinical case studies, and a final test to validate the acquired knowledge. Upon completion, participants receive an internationally recognized certificate, enabling them to become coaches in positive psychology.
Who Is This Training For?
The training is intended for a wide range of professionals in fields such as health, social work, management, or personal support. It is also suitable for anyone wishing to improve their personal well-being and help others do the same. Whether you are an entrepreneur, executive, educator, or simply seeking personal fulfillment, positive psychology can enrich your daily life and social interactions. By undertaking this training, you will learn not only how to develop your own happiness but also how to become an ambassador of happiness by guiding others toward a more joyful and fulfilling life.

Course syllabus
Module 1: INTRODUCTION TO POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
This first module, which is largely theoretical, aims to transmit the foundations of positive psychology. It will also allow you to draw up a profile of your client. It is an opportunity to explain that positive psychology is a science-based on numerous studies conducted over the last 20 years.
In this first module, you will discover:
- The basics of positive psychology: what it is and what it is not

Module 2: DETERMINING CHARACTER STRENGTHS AND APPLYING THEM
Here you will discover the 24-character strengths put forward by Martin Seligman, the father of positive psychology. Using the Via Survey Test, you will then analyze your client’s five greatest character strengths.
In this module, we will address:
- The use of character strengths in various areas of life (wisdom and knowledge, bravery, humanity, fairness, self-control, and transcendence)
- A list of actions and situations that will help your client express their strengths
- The “the wheel of strengths” exercise, which allows clients to take stock of and reveal seldom used strengths

Module 3: HAPPINESS AND WELL-BEING

Review of the Positive Psychology Certification Course
The Positive Psychology Certification Course from Efficient Coach provided a well-structured and insightful exploration of positive psychology principles. The course covered key concepts such as resilience, gratitude, and the science of well-being, offering practical techniques to apply both personally and professionally. This course aligns perfectly with my doctoral research on meaning and well-being in healthcare technology professionals. It reinforced my understanding of the PERMA model and Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS), which are central to my study. The evidence-based strategies for fostering engagement and reducing burnout will directly inform my work on improving job satisfaction and technology adoption in digital health. Highly recommended for anyone looking to integrate positive psychology into their professional practice!
