Great wee course!
Probably the most helpful and practical one-day course attended. The trainer was very knowledgeable, and shared practical advice to all attendees, making it relevant for each persons job role. I would have no hesitation recommending anyone who feels they would like to feel more confident in the area of negotiation and influencing skills.
-Sharron Harradine – 05/12/2025
Too ambitious and basic at the same time
Very theoretical, drills are disembodied and consist in quizzes on paper. Trainer surprised when I asked for at least 1 role play before the end of the day. Hard to see how one can learn real-life skills like this.
