Overview

Assertiveness is a method of critical thinking, where an individual speaks up in defense of their views or considering erroneous information. Assertive people can be outspoken and analyze information and point out areas of information lacking substance, details, or evidence. Assertiveness supports creative thinking and effective communication.

It is considered a critical life skill and recommended for children to develop. Assertiveness is a communication skill that can be taught, and the skills of assertive communication effectively learned.

First, the absence of assertiveness can make you feel that you are trapped, and not living your life to its full potential. You feel like a puppet, operating on strings controlled by someone else. You feel like you are at the mercy of someone else.

  • Do you avoid people because you do not know what to say?

  • Do people take advantage of you because you just cannot say what is on your mind?

  • Do people criticize you and you have nothing to say in return?

  • Do you hesitate to express your opinions ort thoughts?

  • Is it difficult for you to communicate or interact with authority?

If so, you have a passive mindset.

Being assertive means that you can stand firm when you need to. But it does not mean that you get to exercise your rights all the time and win every time.

Assertiveness is all about balance. You can be straight forward with your needs, while considering the rights, needs, and wants of others. When you are assertive, you ask confidently for what you want, but do not throw a tantrum when you do not get it. You make your statements firmly and fairly but understand that someone else may have a different point of view.

Assertive behavior is a skill that can be learned, and in this course, we give you the guidelines to become assertive in every area of your life.

Feel confident in making important decisions. Take your life back.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
