Course Overview


This course aims to equip individuals with the skills to resolve conflict effectively, recognising that dealing with conflict competently is a crucial skill for all leaders and managers. The course is interactive, with learners identifying and applying various conflict resolution strategies and gaining the problem-solving tools and techniques to manage workplace disagreement and issues, taking the needs of all stakeholders into consideration in the process. With conflict being an inevitable and natural feature in all workplaces, this course will enable learners to confidently respond to, and manage, problems.

Learning Outcomes


  • Apply practical tools and techniques to effectively resolve disagreement issues and problems
  • Resolve conflict in the workplace quickly and effectively without impact on business performance
  • Generate strategies to address conflict management, positively influencing team capability development and team effectiveness
  • Self-manage own state to reduce anger and stress, and increase resilience in times of pressure to maintain professionalism and productivity
  • Identify the needs of all stakeholders specific to problems.

ZOOM Virtual Classroom


Our virtual classroom consists of a facilitator teaching the class to students who are dialled in remotely to the class session. Presentation slides and other digital files can be presented during the training session using the Zoom platform and the student may either focus on these resources or the facilitator.

To enable connection, you will require the following set-up:

- Sufficient internet connection – Zoom is successful on a 4G network. Any network better than 4G will enhance the student’s experience;
- A PC with a web-camera, microphone and the capacity to run the Zoom application to allow the facilitator to better interact with students in the same manner as a traditional classroom; and
- Sufficient sized monitor or screen to support the number of students in the room.
