Overview

This course uses the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI™) to analyse different approaches to conflict. TKI™ is a leading personal assessment tool, used by thousands of organisations worldwide to measure the different ways that people respond to conflict. It provides a robust, non-judgmental framework for exploring different conflict handling techniques and group dynamics. In the context of this programme, it provides a powerful, structured way for learners to understand how they approach conflict situations and how their style interacts with other people.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
