The PD Training Negotiation Skills Training Course provides you with practical negotiation techniques that you can use in many contexts and situations. Our negotiation training course is run more like a workshop where you are taught the theory, then break out and work in pairs or small teams to practice the negotiation skills that are relevant to your needs.

In this Negotiation Skills Training course you will learn the theory and get the opportunity to apply it to scenarios that suit your specific needs. Learn key skills like how to lay the groundwork for a successful negotiation outcome, choosing preferred locations, identifying the key points you're willing to concede and when to walk away from the bargaining table.


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:

  • Understand different negotiation styles and when to apply them
  • Understand the dominant negotiation strategies of competition and collaboration
  • Apply the principles of BATNA and ZOPA when preparing to negotiate
  • Apply the negotiation process and understand the basis of ‘principled’ negotiation
  • Discover the difference between interests and positions
  • Explore the concept of mutual gain
  • Know how to bargain and close a negotiation
  • Understand challenges in negotiation and how to overcome them
  • Apply tips when negotiating by phone or email
  • Understand the principles of ethical negotiation


By completing the PD Training Negotiation Skills Course you will acquire the confidence you need to resolve points of difference, gain the advantage in the outcome of a discussion, produce an agreement upon courses of action or bargain for individual or collective advantage. Negotiation is a process which can lead to positive outcomes and develop relationships, but it does require training and practice to perfect.

This highly interactive, learner-focused Negotiation Skills Training Course will arm you and your team with winning negotiation skills and tactics, so you feel better prepared, more confident and have greater control during the negotiation process.
