DIPLOMA IN MEDIATION AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Students can take this course in the classroom and receive a QQI Level 6 Conflict Management Award or take this course online and receive a Diploma in Mediation and Conflict Resolution from City Colleges.
This course aims to equip participants with key skills in setting up for and managing negotiations in a variety of fractious environments. Participants do not have to be those seeking to be professional negotiators, but rather, managers or professionals who would benefit from having an improved skill-set in this area. The course includes techniques designed to lower the conflict level by accurate assessment and implementation of appropriate responses.
The training would be ideal for those professionals expecting to work in fragile and difficult environments, such as the military, law enforcement, but also all public sector and NGO personnel who would be likely to encounter scenarios where they would need to apply skills as mentioned.
A pass grade on the written assignment will be required for awarding of the Diploma.
The course is assessed by way of continuous assessment (100%).
