A very interesting training session, well facilitated.The first afternoon was a bit long on theory, and I would have appreciated some short role-play exercises. The practical session on the second day was interesting. Ideally, it would be good to use topics relevant to the participants’ fields of work, or to act out the scenarios requested at the start of the training.

The trainer was very engaging, attentive during the practical exercises, knowledgeable in his field (negotiation) and friendly. The only area for improvement would be to slow down his rate of speech, as he spoke very quickly and it was difficult to listen to everything and take it all in at the same time. As for the quality of the exercises, I rated them as ‘somewhat dissatisfied’ because the practical case studies were sometimes complex, with a lot of information to take in before being able to

It was great. The course lived up to my expectations. First there was a reminder of the basics, followed by additional points that I didn't know about and that will help me improve my negotiations. The trainer also encouraged participants from different sectors to share their experiences, which made the course more interactive.

Very good training that I would recommend. The content is very clear, and as I don't have a sales background and don't know negotiation techniques, the quality of the exercises is there, as is the balance between the theoretical and practical parts. The basics are covered in the course and adapted to each person. The trainer was dynamic and kept interest throughout the course.
