Learners who attend this module will be able to outline the theory and practice of Union / Management Negotiation, and plan, prepare for, and conclude negotiations. Course participants will have an opportunity to take part in group work, discovery exercises and case study role playing. The course will provide learners with the opportunity to analyse and discuss negotiation theory and practice and improve their Negotiation Skills.

Entry requirements: You must be a SIPTU member and nominated to attend the course by your SIPTU Organiser. Normally you will have completed some Introductory or Basic training but we will recognise long service as a union activist instead.

Certification: This course can lead to a recognised qualification – a Level 5 QQI minor award – 5N5326. It is also possible to combine this award with others towards a major award.

Support: All SIPTU College courses are taught by experienced tutors who combine their own trade union experience with appropriate academic qualifications. As a participant on a SIPTU College course you will have access to SIPTULearn.ie, an online portal through which you can access course notes, multimedia content, quizzes and links to relevant course material in order to reinforce classroom learning.
