Certificate in Negotiation & Dispute Resolution

Build the skills and confidence to negotiate effectively, resolve disputes, and create positive outcomes across a wide range of scenarios.

Conflict and disputes can damage relationships, slow decisions, and weaken performance when they are not managed effectively. This highly participative workshop builds the confidence and flexibility to negotiate and resolve conflict across internal workplace and external commercial situations. Through practical models, personal assessment, group exercises, and role-plays, you will explore your preferred conflict-handling style, plan negotiations strategically, understand the other party's interests, and trade variables to reach positive outcomes. You will also examine mediation and other dispute resolution approaches, practise dealing with emotion and tough negotiators, and develop an action plan to apply the learning in your role.
