Overview
We have specially designed the certification process so that you leave the course knowing you have an excellent understanding of Assertiveness Skills. Whilst we will do everything possible to assist you in meeting our required standards, not every student meets our standards. So when you have our certificate, you know you’ve earned it!

Description
Why Assertiveness Training?

Do you:
- Find yourself saying ‘yes’ to people’s requests when you really want to say ‘no?’
- Bottle up or fail to express your discontent, even if you think it’s justified?
- ‘Give in’ to others for a while, but eventually become irritable or even angry?
Assertiveness is the ability to express yourself and your rights in an open, non-confrontational way. Yet assertiveness does not come naturally because we have all learned passive behaviours to stave off confrontation.
When you train with Vita online Learning and Education , we teach you how to apply appropriate assertive communication skills in your day-to-day work and life situations: you will acquire practical techniques which will increase your effectiveness and productivity, and help you gain control of daily activities.
Course Aims
The course is designed to give students the appropriate tools to assert themselves in a wide range of situations at work. They will learn how the proper use of assertive behaviour enables people to deal with work colleagues, clients, suppliers and personal contacts in a way that is productive yet maintains and improves relationships.
