Course outline
The course will take you through all the stages of contract negotiation using theory, frameworks, examples and practical applications of skills.

The following content will be covered during the course:
- The different stages of contract negotiation, including the most common areas of disputes and how these can be resolved
- How to recognise different negotiation styles and what that means for negotiations
