The PD Training Negotiation Skills Training Course in New Zealand provides you with practical negotiation techniques applicable to negotiation in many contexts and situations. The negotiation training course is run like a workshop where you are given some theory, then work in pairs or small teams to prepare for negotiations that are relevant to your needs.

In this Negotiation Skills Training course, you will learn the theories of successful negotiation and get the opportunity to apply them to scenarios that reflect your specific needs. This is training tailored to you!


This is a practical class that is suitable for all audiences, and provides participants with tools they can apply on-the-job (and in other contexts) the very next day.


There are no prerequisites for this course.


In this course participants will:

  • Explain the basic types of negotiations
  • Learn the phases of negotiations & gain the skills necessary for successfully negotiating
