If you're new to negotiation - or want to level up your game - this 100% online programme is perfect for you. It takes you through Vlerick's unique NQ model, giving you the knowledge, skills and mindset you need to succeed in negotiations.
Detailed programme
Negotiation Fundamentals is available in a flexible, 100% online format. You immerse yourself in live online webinars and sessions that you can complete at your own pace.
Through a blend of short videos, reading, reflection, buddy group discussions and real-life negotiation assignments, you’ll live and learn negotiation techniques and theory.
Spend 2-3 hours per week on the programme and your individual and group assignments to complete it in six weeks.

The Negotiation Fundamentals programme is not merely about tips & tricks for improving your negotiation skills − it really changes your negotiation mind-set, from ‘you win some, you lose some’ to ‘find value creation opportunities for both parties’. You can access this online training programme on a variety of devices, and the fact that it’s online means that you can use it flexibly at your convenience. Vlerick’s approach is academic, but the material is taught so that the learnings are applicable in your daily professional and personal lives. I highly recommend this programme for people and organisations interested in raising their negotiation style to the next level − which is value creation.
