External Conflict Management

About the course

Brief Description of the Course:

This is a fully online course and requires access to an internet enabled computer or tablet. Once students receive the log in details for the programme then they can complete the course at any time and the certificate can be printed off at the end of the course. The course consists of a series of short training units followed by a quiz. The quiz can be retaken if it is not achieved at the first attempt.

With almost 700,000 incidents of violence and 374,000 adults experiencing physical violence at work in 2017/18, there is a crucial need to train staff in conflict management to effectively deal with conflict situations; or to avoid such a situation from occurring or escalating out of control.

However conflict more-often-than-not does not include physical violence, but normally takes the form of a dissatisfied customer or client. And with multiple studies and surveys showing the negative effects that losing a dissatisfied customer has on a business, awareness of the different factors involved may assist in solving a dispute or preventing a negative outcome.
