The Art of Persuasion Certification

The Art of Persuasion Certification

The art of persuasion is a difficult one to master but is an invaluable skill to possess.

No one wants to be forced to use coercion or aggressive tactics to get their point across or to find common ground on an issue.

Persuasion is based on reasoning and understanding rather than hostility or threats, making it the best way to convince your conversation partner that you are right or that your way of doing things is the preferred one.

This course goes into detail about how you can develop your own persuasive skills. By practising these skills, you may find that you master the art of persuasion in very little time.

We begin by discussing the way human behavior is often motivated.

Next, we move on to discuss Aristotle's persuasive techniques - ones that are still very relevant today.

Finally, we leave you with the steps you should take to ensure that your argument is persuasive. These steps work well in both speech and the written word, making them ideal for essay writers and presenters alike.

You Will Learn:

  • The five main influencers of human behavior and how you should respond to them
  • The four modes of persuasion and how they can be applied today
  • Information on how those persuasive techniques can be used for good or bad intentions
  • How to use Monroe's Motivated Sequence to your advantage

Benefits of Taking This Course:

  • Learning how to become more persuasive in your everyday life without resorting to aggression
  • Being able to participate in more productive conversations
  • Understanding why people tend to display the habits they do
  • Learning how to use simple persuasive techniques in your everyday speech
  • Learning how to construct a persuasive argument in just a few simple steps

This course was very informative and i loved that it could be done at my own pace and not have deadlines to reach.

Even my dog loved the benefits and being my practice dummy!

I was a little sceptical about doing an online course as thought it wouldn't be very in depth, but how wrong I was!

Very thorough and covered everything yo could possibly need. I trained many years ago and wanted a refresh and this was perfect and enabled me to get my insurance and feel confident being back in the Beauty Industry.

I'm now about to start another refresh course on waxing and cant wait to get going, I will most certainly be back to do more. If you're unsure whether to do an online course, don't be, its a must. Highly recommended!

Sue Pearce

I have really enjoyed doing the receptionist course online and I recommend anyone that wants to improve in whatever qualifications they wish to progress in to do it on New Skills Academy. It is very helpful and I have learnt a lot - My family members couldn’t believe how much I have progressed and they have actually said that they will probably do the courses online themselves. I will definitely finish the courses that I still have on here, and maybe do more courses in the future as I have learned a lot and I am willing to learn more as the resources you have on here are brilliant.

I did not realise how in depth make up actually was until I actually began the course.

I found the course material very beneficial and it gave me an understanding of how to use all aspects of make up.The videos are extremely helpful and the tutor on them is very precise and clear.

I am exceedingly happy I took this course and it has put me in place for the perfect start. Highly recommend thank you skill academy for giving me the opportunity to better my self at my own pace. The hints and tips are ideal to make notes of xx

Sophie Watson

I had looked at a lot of different courses like this to help my CPD as an NQT. Not only was it super value for money, but really easy to use and work with.

Having the opportunity to print or PDF information means I can keep any work as evidence.

I have been very impressed with this course and will defiantly look to complete similar courses soon.

Kim Hudspith

I am considering a career change, so this seemed a good place to start. The course was comprehensive, for the price and easy to follow. The videos were also really helpful, to help put the information into context. The instructor was very down to earth and easy to follow.

It is helpful to be able to print out the course notes, to refer to at a later date. I will also re-watch the videos when I need to.

The test at the end was multiple choice. There may have been information relating to this on the website, but I didn't find it. The questions were very specific, so you do need to have revised before you take the test.

All in all, I am impressed, for the £40 I spent.
