Certificate Overview
This online certificate in managing change and resolving conflict is a partner program that helps learners build a broader foundation for leading through workplace change, addressing conflict, and managing difficult situations with greater confidence and skill. Rather than focusing on a single topic, the program brings together a set of related courses that give participants a structured path through change leadership, workplace communication, conflict handling, negotiation, and emotional intelligence.
This is a partner certificate offered alongside our instructor-led programs. It provides a self-paced option for professionals who want a more comprehensive development experience without waiting for a workshop date.
The certificate includes seven courses: Leading and Managing Change, Handling Difficult Employee Behavior, Communicating Collaboratively, Handling Workplace Conflict, Emotional Intelligence for Managers, Negotiations: Resolving Disputes, and Introduction to Managing Change and Resolving Conflict. Learners are encouraged to begin with the introductory course before moving through the rest of the certificate. Upon completion of all courses, learners receive a downloadable Certificate of Completion.
