About this course
This course is for you, if you want to be taken seriously
It is for you, if you want others to trust your judgement
It is for you, if you notice people switch off, when you speak
…but it is not for people who want to be the life and soul of the party, the class clown or be constantly trying hard to dominate
Instead, it is for you, if you want to dominate quietly, without seeming to try.
You won’t need anything before you start this course…
But you will want to find some work and social situations to try out these methods as soon as you can.
At the end of the course, you will be required to sit an online multiple-choice test. Your test will be assessed automatically and immediately so that you will instantly know whether you have been successful. After you have successfully passed the test, you will be able to buy an internationally recognised Accredited Certificate of Achievement from iStudy. You can however also buy a Course Completion Certificate following the course completion without sitting for the test.
