Negotiation Training for Individuals

Open (public) courses


We offer regular Open programmes in Advanced Negotiation Skills and our Next Steps programme across the UK (and the rest of the world, click here to find an office near you). This format is ideal for individuals, or where it is not possible for groups of 12 members of one company to be in training in the same week, or if organisations wish to trial the programme before a roll-out across the business.


Many of our Open course participants enjoy the opportunity to work with people from other backgrounds, roles and organisations. We only accept up to two people from each organisation onto each Open course, to ensure that a diverse mix of people is represented.


These courses typically run from 6pm Monday evening through until 2pm Thursday for the Advanced programme, and 8:30am Tuesday morning to 5pm Thursday for The Next Steps and are intensive, practical and fun. We take a maximum of 12 participants with two Scotwork tutors, which provides for plenty of personal feedback and participants will spend 80% of their time in practical activities.
