The mock group activities really helped me practice and apply the new techniques we were being taught
Content was well covered and discussed as well as the group activities which were engaging and allowed us to put what we learnt into practice
Learning the different styles of negotiation was really helpful for when we deal with different kinds of people. It makes negotiating easier.
