Overview

Problem Solving

Diploma in Problem Solving Level 3. CPD Accredited Problem Solving Certificate with 60 CPD points. This Problem Solving course comes with easy to understand e-learning study materials.

Problem Solving can be advantageous throughout life. At its heart, negotiation is about influencing outcomes in a manner that ensures maximum benefit or value for you personally. In sales, negotiation works toward closing the deal in a mutually-satisfactory manner. Those who master the art of negotiation are able to make the opposite party believe that they have scored the best deal. When in reality, it’s the seller or business that’ has come out on top. Powerful negotiators influence outcomes to work in their own favour, while carefully ensuring that everyone involved in the deal/sale leaves feeling satisfied.

This Problem Solving course is ideally-suited to anyone with an interest in becoming a more capable negotiator. Study a variety of effective negotiation techniques, along with how to handle objections and avoid dead-ends. Learn how to influence and persuade without crossing the line into pushiness, with the ultimate goal of closing more sales.

A complete dependence on capable leadership is one of few things every organisation has in common. In the absence of talented leadership, the workforce – and by extension the entire business – cannot achieve its full potential. Management and leadership are two very different concepts, though are intrinsically interconnected. For an organisation to perform at its best, a strategic combination of both Negotiation Skills is required. It’s one thing to master the art of effective delegation, instruction and supervision. It’s something else entirely to inspire a workforce to achieve more by setting a strong example. To become a talented manager and an inspiring leader is to enjoy extraordinary career prospects worldwide.

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.
