A communication course teaches key skills for conducting conversations more effectively, clearly and purposefully. The content varies depending on the course format, target group and training provider. Basically, a "communication improvement course" can be divided into several key areas:

• The basics of interviewing
  Teaching techniques for active participation in conversations, structuring dialogs and goal-oriented communication in private or professional life
• Conflict management and de-escalation
  Strategies for avoiding and resolving conflicts, dealing with difficult conversational situations and the use of "I" messages
• Rhetoric and body language
  Training in free speech, persuasive argumentation and the targeted use of facial expressions and gestures for a confident performance
• Voice and speech training
  Exercises on voice pitch, speaking style and breathing to improve intelligibility and presence - for example in presentations or telephone conversations
• Conducting negotiations and leading discussions
  Techniques for successfully leading meetings, moderating discussions and conducting goal-oriented negotiations
• Spontaneous communication and quick-wittedness
  Methods for reacting quickly in unplanned conversational situations and for acting confidently under pressure

The target groups of the individual communication courses vary greatly depending on the focus.

For example, communication courses can be aimed at people who deal with mediation and arbitration between people in their private or professional lives, such as mediators or prospective mediators, employees of public authorities, organizations and departments who have to deal with people of different ethnic, cultural or professional backgrounds, managers who want to speak more eloquently in front of others, salespeople who want to appear more eloquent on the phone or in face-to-face conversations, consultants who want to respond better to customers or team leaders who want to improve cooperation.

Please enquire directly with the individual schools about the target groups and prerequisites for the various communication courses so that you can really find the communication course that will be of the greatest benefit to you professionally or privately.

As a rule, you will get a lot out of a communication course, provided you engage with what is being said and take an active part in the lessons. You learn in a very practice-oriented way with a series of exercises and role plays, so that you are not just a passive listener, but internalize what you have learned through experience and trial and error. In a communication course, you will be given the skills and knowledge you need to act, lead and intervene in a wide variety of situations in a considered manner without appearing pushy and assertive.

A non-violent communication (NVC) course teaches basic skills to make conversations more respectful, conscious and constructive. Participants learn, among other things:

• formulate clear and honest messages without being hurtful
• Listen carefully and include the other person's perspective
• tackle challenging situations in everyday life or at work in a de-escalating and solution-oriented manner
• Replace automatic reactions with conscious actions
• to pause, reflect and develop a language that takes into account your own needs and those of others

These skills can be individually combined with your own communication style and promote respectful interaction - both in your private and professional life. Non-violent communication can be learned regardless of previous knowledge and is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their communication style in the long term.

Each school designs its own curriculum. The exact course content may therefore vary depending on the education provider.

You have the option of attending a communication course, which only takes 1 or 2 days and in which you learn the basic skills of communication.

It is best to choose a weekend seminar so that you do not lose any working time if this is your concern.

Otherwise, many courses are also offered in the evening and extend over several dates. In this way, if you have a little more time, you can also attend a communication seminar over the course of a few weeks, which will provide you with more in-depth training in all aspects of communication and is therefore also ideally suited to your professional work, for example as a therapist, social worker or coach.

There is certainly also a specific rhetoric course as a communication course, because rhetoric is an important area of communication. The knowledge acquired in the communication course will benefit graduates in negotiations, sales talks, when dealing with colleagues and in their private lives. Afterwards, they will rethink their previous behavior in all areas of life to see if there are differences in how they perceive themselves and how others perceive them. Rhetoric courses as communication courses allow you to recognize potential for improvement in the areas of communication and rhetoric in everyday life. After a communication rhetoric course, you will be able to better assess other people and recognize and react to other people's rhetorical techniques. This leads to a more self-confident appearance and better effectiveness in presentation situations.

Conflict management courses should be attended for the following reasons:

• Learning how to resolve conflicts better
• Recognizing conflicts as opportunities in the future
• Being able to tackle conflicts constructively in the future
• Learning to develop solutions that are acceptable to both sides

Of course, companies can also take a communication course online. Much of the content to be taught, such as the basics of conversation, communication models, communication techniques, coping with challenging communication situations, etc., can also be covered in online lessons. For company-specific seminars in particular, it is important that not too many employees are absent from the workplace due to school-related activities. With an online communication course, everyone can continue their education at a different time. This can then be supplemented by training sessions in small groups to practise communication exercises. Online is therefore certainly a good option for a communication course.
