What the programmes actually cover

Financial negotiation is not a personality trait — it is a set of learnable behaviours. These courses focus on the specific moments where most people lose ground without realising it.

Negotiation skills practice session
  • Anchoring and framing. The first number stated in any financial discussion tends to pull the outcome toward it. Participants learn when to anchor, how far, and what to do when the other side anchors first.
  • Reading concession patterns. How quickly someone gives ground — and on what — tells you more than what they say. Modules include structured exercises using real-world contract scenarios.
  • Silence as a tool. Most people fill silence instinctively, often at cost. Participants practise holding pauses in role-play scenarios until it becomes a deliberate choice rather than a reflex.
  • Written versus verbal agreements. Verbal commitments shift during drafting. The courses cover how to close the gap between what was agreed and what ends up in writing.
  • Multi-party dynamics. When three or more parties are at the table, coalition logic changes what is possible. Advanced modules address this directly with case studies from procurement and investment contexts.

Questions people ask before enrolling

Straightforward answers to the things that usually come up when choosing a programme.

Do I need prior experience in finance to join these programmes?

No prior finance background is required. Each programme starts from practical fundamentals and builds toward more complex negotiation scenarios. Participants with some professional experience tend to progress faster, but the material is structured to be accessible regardless of starting point.

How are the sessions delivered?

All sessions are delivered online, so you can attend from anywhere in Ireland or beyond without travel. Lectures are structured as sequential modules with clear milestones, and you can revisit recorded material between live sessions.

What is the typical time commitment per week?

Most participants spend between four and six hours per week on lectures, exercises, and review. The workload varies by programme level — introductory tracks are lighter, while advanced negotiation modules include more case analysis and practical assignments.

Can I switch to a different programme after enrolling?

Yes, transfers between programmes are possible before the second session. Contact us at [email protected] with your enrolment details and we will discuss the most suitable option for your goals.
