Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions provide hands-on experience in applying conflict resolution techniques through role-plays, simulations, and facilitated exercises. Learners practice active listening, mediation, and negotiation in realistic workplace scenarios to build confidence and competence.

Practical Activities

• Role-Play: Conflict Styles and Communication — Learners engage in structured role-plays simulating common workplace conflicts, applying different conflict styles and communication techniques. (4h)
• Simulation: Mediation and Negotiation — In small groups, learners mediate a simulated dispute between two parties, practising the steps of mediation and negotiation. (4h)
• Case Study: Team Conflict Resolution — Learners analyse a complex team conflict case study and develop a step-by-step resolution plan, then present and defend their approach. (4h)
• Action Planning and Peer Coaching — Learners create a personal conflict resolution action plan for their workplace and participate in peer coaching sessions to refine strategies. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.
