An assertive person appears confident, communicates well and is skilled in dealing with people in all types of situations.

This blended course with preparatory and post course materials will give you knowledge and practice for evaluating situations and responding appropriately. It will focus on the situations that you may encounter as a Doctoral/Master’s Representative.

You will need to dedicate a total time of ~2 hours to complete this course, which includes ~30 minutes preparatory asynchronous activities carried out via Blackboard. There is a lot of material to explore via the Course Notes and links on Blackboard after the live course, and optional follow ups are available.

This course is adapted from provision for doctoral researchers and is recommended by Faculties for post graduate representatives.  It is credit bearing for doctoral students.

By the end of this course and with preparatory and post-course materials, you will be better able to:

• Identify the difference between assertive, aggressive and passive behaviour at work.
• Recognise body language during meetings associated with these behaviours.
• Employ active listening techniques and other communication skills.
• Develop your self-confidence and ability to communicate effectively.
• Evaluate situations and your response to improve outcomes.
