THE ADVANCED NEGOTIATION ACADEMY
Start Your Learning Journey Anytime Remotely or Attend A F2F Event Followed By 12 Month Negotiation Gym Membership
Who is this for?
The Advanced Negotiation Academy is specifically designed to equip business people with the negotiation strategies, tactics, techniques, and supporting tools that they need to go toe-to-toe confidently with the best negotiators in the world. Most of our past participants come from sales, procurement, or executive environments within businesses of all sizes. We have successfully delivered negotiation skills development interventions in almost all major industries in 65 countries over the past 21 years. While you will learn advanced negotiation strategies and approaches, it is not necessary for you to be an experienced negotiator to attend. It is, however, recommended that participants have at least five years of business experience before attending.

The Advanced Negotiation Academy is delivered in two formats:
1. A blended program made up of a group-based 1.5-day face-to-face boot camp training intervention followed by remote one-on-one simulations and coaching calls with a professional negotiator.
2. A 6 week remote boot camp program including remote one-on-one simulations and coaching calls with a professional negotiator.
After completing the boot camp part of the Advanced Negotiation Academy, participants gain access to the Imperium Negotiation Gym for 12 months, where they have the opportunity to continue to hone their skills.
