Course Information

 Your Way to Becoming a Professional Negotiator

The NPT Negotiation Course is an exclusive program that spans eight months, with sessions occurring once a week in the evenings. The NPT Negotiation Course covers various essential topics, including effective communication, persuasive techniques, conflict resolution, and the influences of different cultures in negotiation. Through a combination of relevant theories and real-life simulations, participants gain all the necessary experience to get an advantage in complex negotiation scenarios. By enrolling in the NPT Negotiation Course, participants can enhance their negotiation skills, broaden their understanding of negotiation dynamics, and develop the confidence to excel in high-stakes situations. 

Next to receiving a certificate, validating their proficiency in negotiation techniques, graduates also have the chance to become part of the NPT alumni network, which has a strong connection to international companies and research organisations. Lastly, the best students of the cohort also gain the exciting opportunity to participate in international competitions, putting their skills to the test against talented negotiators worldwide. 

What makes the course special

Small Scale Training 

Even though the number of applications for the NPT cohort has been skyrocketing in the last few years, we believe that the course should not exceed a maximum of 25 students. This allows great cohesion between students themselves and also between students and teachers. In this way, the teachers can get to know every student and support everyone's individual negotiation development. 

Extensive Programme 

The considerate design of the programme, in combination with its length of 8 months, allows graduates to start their careers with negotiation expertise on a comparable level to established business professionals. 

Completely Free of Charge

While comparable programmes are often related to costs upwards of 5000€, all members of NPT work hard to offer great negotiation training for the cohort completely free of charge.
