To listen, really listen is a difficult thing to do. Frequently, we hear what someone is saying without giving it our full attention and without fully understanding what has been said.

Active Listening Skills Training

Communication breaks down without effective listening skills which is why listening is usually the first place to look when there are problems with communication.

Become a better communicator through a range of techniques to use to improve the ability to listen within your organisation with our Active Listening Skills training course, a Human Resources Training and Coaching Course.

Course Objectives

After this Listening Skills training course, attendees will be able to:

  • Analyse and have an increased understanding of the techniques of effective listening
  • Discuss the skills of communication and focus on the art of listening
  • Apply their new skills actively in the working environment

I really enjoyed the Active Listening course - we covered loads of material in manageable segments. I will take a lot away from it.

Excellent informative course with a great tutor. The day was fun but met the learning objectives very well. Would highly recommend for individuals or teams. I definitely learnt some great techniques which I can apply at work and in my personal life.
