This comprehensive Emotional Intelligence (EI) course equips you with the tools to understand, measure, and enhance your emotional awareness in both personal and professional contexts. You'll learn the core concepts and four branches of EI, discovering how self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, and empathy drive more effective communication and conflict resolution. By exploring the positive and negative impacts of EI on workplace interactions, you'll see how improved emotional competencies can reduce stress and frustration, while fostering better relationships and leadership outcomes. Through self-evaluation exercises, you'll identify areas for growth, develop strategies to manage emotional responses, and ultimately build stronger interpersonal skills that lead to greater success in all areas of your life.
The Accredited Emotional Intelligence Course is a three-day workshop aligned with SAQA US252031: Apply the principles and concepts of emotional intelligence to the management of self and others, worth 4 credits at NQF level 5.
This course is also part of the Interpersonal Skills Module of our Generic Management National Certificate Qualification at NFQ level 5.
We've all worked with brilliant individuals, and some of us have been fortunate enough to be led by them. A few core qualities set the best leaders and managers apart: strong business acumen, unwavering integrity, exceptional people skills, and genuine care for those they lead. True leadership is people-focused and hinges on emotional intelligence - the ability to perceive others' emotions, respond appropriately, and regulate your own emotions under pressure. Crucially, this skill isn't just innate - it can be learned and continuously improved.
Emotional intelligence training is worth investing in if you want to be an effective leader who leaves a lasting legacy.

I liked how the course relates to every day life
The training was great, and it helped me discover some things I was not aware of about myself. Leading Edge is very informative, and I can and will recommend it to other people.
I've done an EQ course before, but I really liked how this one was more in-depth and covered alot more areas that we must consider as a whole. I loved Goleman's Quadrant, and this nicely summarizes all focus points.
1. Felt the training was very interactive and informative 2. Enjoyed the course being punctuated with evaluation tests - made you more aware of the terms and ideas that were being discussed 3. Andrew was very easy to listen to and interact with - real life examples and discussions made the course very easy to understand and connect
The training was very informative. The trainer was professional, friendly and patient Content was understandable A lot was covered and a lot was learnt Would definitely recommend to other people
Really enjoyed the course and the trainer, he was engaging and paid attention to us during the sessions. Time flew by which means that I really enjoyed the content and was engaged throughout.
The Leading Training Self Mastery Course is highly recommended as a pre-requisite course to this course, as it lays the scientific foundation of how our brains process emotions and how we as social beings relate to others. However, this is not essential.
