2 journées très enrichissantes, qui à défaut de faire de moi un expert en négociation, me donnent une meilleure compréhension très concrète des facteurs clefs d’une négociation réussie (bien préparée, bien menée, bien concluse).

Our role as works supervisor was sometimes a little far removed from the theoretical part of the course, as my personal knowledge didn't allow me to follow each part correctly. On the other hand, the exercises were very good and enabled us to understand certain theoretical points very well.

The trainer, Joaquina, was very good. In my opinion, there was a bit too much theory and buying techniques covered in this course. Some of the topics covered don't really concern our core business, but the overall content could help us in the future.

A little too much theory for my taste, but it has to be adapted to a majority of professions, so it remains coherent.
