Negotiation Training for Organisations

One Company courses


With our one-company training, we work with you to select the most appropriate dates for courses, find an appropriate venue (which can be on or off site, subject to suitability) and we tailor programmes for you focussed around your organisation's key negotiating issues and goals. We spend time to get to know your business beforehand, so that the skills coaching on the programme is directed towards your group's key challenges and relates to their terminology and systems.

The programme is delivered by two Scotwork tutors for up to 12 participants, allowing each participant ample time to get personal feedback from the tutors. The timetable is intensive and fast-paced, and runs across one evening and two and a half days.
