Description

Negotiation and influence

A vague familiarity with “Negotiation and influence” is no longer enough. This belongs with Geopolitics and public affairs. You negotiate with states, you do economic diplomacy and you read a regulation. People are hired to decide, not just to name the topic. This AEES certification is for professionals, managers and leaders who want to hold a mandate, judge a concession and close without giving the store away. No diploma is required. What is required is a working command of written French, and the will to show the subject on a real file, in a company, a public body or a partner organisation.

You are not joining a long degree. You take “Negotiation and influence” seriously enough to use it, and seriously enough for someone else to read it on a file. Everything happens online, around a job you already have. You prepare if you need to, then you sit a professional assessment. The AEES Executive Certificate, if it is issued, is proof in your name, and it can be checked. It holds in a CV, a move or a cooperation. It is a short specialisation, issued by a higher-education institution. You see at once what you are buying: a targeted title, not a course catalogue.

Afterwards you can carry “Negotiation and influence” into a team, a file or a new responsibility, and explain your choices to a manager, a funder or a partner institution. Others will see that you can hold a mandate, judge a concession and close without giving the store away, including outside your own organisation. If you succeed, AEES issues an AEES Executive Certificate in your name, with a unique serial number that can be checked in the public register. The award stays in your workspace. It shows a professional judgement you have demonstrated, useful for a CV, a new post or work in common.

Preparation included

To prepare for the assessment

After purchase, a preparatory course is available: 6 written modules, without an instructor, at your own pace. You are not required to follow it before opening the assessment. Each module sets out the notions, a commented case, the points to keep and a FAQ. It covers Mandate, Map, Sequence and Concession.

When you are ready, you enter the assessment: a file already open, incomplete facts, conflicting views. You move through successive decisions. This is not a full taught programme with pedagogical supervision.

Structured written course

Notions, objectives and concrete examples, organised progressively.

Applied case

A commented professional situation to anchor the theory.

FAQ and preparation

Frequent doubts, then questions to go further on your own.

  1. Mandate Know what you may give, and what is forbidden.
  2. Map Read the other’s interests, not only the positions.
  3. Sequence Decide what to put on the table, and when.
  4. Concession Give against something, never for the mood.
  5. Coalition Know who, in the other room, actually decides.
  6. Agreement Write what is held, before shaking hands.
