The Science of Happiness Certificate

The Science of Happiness

Happiness not only makes us feel good about ourselves but also affects our lives in many ways. The science of happiness course explains what makes human beings flourish and why we feel stressed and unhappy. Dealing with constant stress and struggling with unpleasant memories can pose barriers to happiness. The human brain processes emotions and experiences in a certain way, and our perceptions of experiences can affect our ability to be happy.

The course explains the fundamental psychology that underlies happiness and describes techniques that can sustain long-term contentment. While some part of happiness is genetically determined, we can improve our happiness levels through personal control.

What You Will Learn:

  • How happiness is defined in terms of psychology and the different emotions that contribute to happiness
  • The different forms of happiness and their effects in the short and long term
  • The different models of happiness and techniques to sustain long-term happiness
  • How the brain processes positive experiences in terms of function
  • How different types of memory contribute to happiness
  • How the brain operates to trigger responsive and reactive modes
  • How negativity bias affects the ability to process positive experiences
  • How repetition and emotion affect the formation of neural circuits

Benefits Of Taking the Course:

  • You will be able to differentiate between fleeting happiness and implement strategies that can enhance long-term satisfaction
  • Once you understand how the brain works, you can enjoy higher levels of happiness
  • You will discover how to focus on positive experiences and alter the way your brain processes experiences
  • Higher happiness levels will help you become calmer, enjoy better health, and boost your ability to deal with challenges

    Anyone who has an interest in learning more about this subject matter is encouraged to take the course. There are no entry requirements to take the course.

    The course is broken down into 5 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

    You can study the course any time you like. Simply log in and out of the web based course as often as you require. The course is compatible with all computers, tablet devices and smart phones so you can even study while on the move!

    Once you have completed all 5 modules there is a multiple choice test. The questions will be on a range of topics found within the 5 modules. The test, like the course, is online and can be taken a time and location of your choosing.

    The pass mark for the test is 70%.

    If you don’t pass the test first time you will get further opportunities to take the test again after extra study. There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test. All test retakes are included within the price of the course.

    Once you have been awarded your certificate it is valid for life. The certificate does not expire or need renewing.

    I found this course very useful. It covers the all categories of cleaning and goes in to great detail without being overwhelming. Its a clean and easy to use step by step interface that glides you through the modules. If you want to take more time and revise in your own time without access to the internet, the PDF viewer and print functions are a great feature. This course has helped me gain the new knowledge of this industry and will be the first step towards a great career. There is certainly more than meets the eye when it comes to cleaning and I have an even bigger appreciation for an industry which is vital to millions and widely under appreciated. Thank you British Cleaning Certificate for the excellent service!

    The waxing course was very easy to follow and full of all the information needed. Fantastic easy step by step videos and diagrams.

    Great help for setting up your own business as this course gives you all the correct information and procedures to follow.

    I work from home offering a variety of other treatments, including eye lash extensions, threading and tanning now having this treatment is an added bonus… and very happy clients.

    Would definitely recommend to others who are looking to follow in the same direction as me to broaden their treatments to offer for their own clients ?

    I completed the course after studying at my own pace, there was no time scale to finish it which I was happy about and the support team were very quick to respond to any queries that I had at any time through out the learning process. I love that i have my certificate and I feel very proud of myself

    I love this garden design course, I have been given the opportunity to learn more about garden design and maintenance so I can start my own gardening business

    Andrew Ledwold

    Very interesting topics, I feel like I have expanded my knowledge and have more of an understanding and can use the techniques I have learnt professionally. I feel more confident in my ability!

    I enjoyed the videos of the makeup application and thought the flow of the course was very well structured which made it easy to follow. It had me excited to do more and complete next stages as it was in bite size chunks.

    I am very happy with the programme thoroughly enjoyed it I wish it was longer so I could learn more. Thank you for the course!
