Discover the advanced power of non-verbal communication with our comprehensive accredited three-day basic 'Registered Body Language Analyst' training course. This course not only takes you through the traditional aspects of reading body language, but also explores the latest innovative developments in this field.
You will learn the subtle art of understanding body language, from eye movements to toe movements. Our training also covers topics such as voice detection, reading micro-expressions, and predictive profiling. We also explore how technology can add a new dimension to your skills as an analyst.
A crucial part of the training is structuring and preparing conversations or interviews. This is done using our proprietary 'Body Language Interview Guide', which provides a step-by-step approach to effectively interpreting and applying body language in real-life scenarios.
By participating in this three-day course, you will have the opportunity to become a certified analyst, adept at not only understanding the subtle signals that people subconsciously emit, but also at utilizing the latest technological tools in the field.
Some interesting topics that we will cover during this basic training are:
Establishing a baseline, learn how to identify someone's normal body language to have a frame of reference for further analyses.
Recognizing deviations, learning to recognize signs of insincerity, hiding information, thinking deeply, or signals for further questioning.
Applying predictive profiling in various scenarios, from security to personal interactions.
The concept of isopraxism, the tendency to mirror the behavior of others, is explored further, as is defensive communication.
Understanding technology-enabled voice detection and micro-expressions and how it can be applied in critical situations.
This is just a small selection of the topics we will cover. During our three-day training you will be immersed in a wide range of fascinating topics, all focused on reading and understanding body language.
In a professional environment, this knowledge can be exceptionally valuable. Consider, for example, HUMINT operations where the detection of subtle non-verbal signals can contribute to your information position. Or imagine you're interviewing a witness, where reading body language can help build relationships – a process known as 'building rapport', and promote more effective communication.
In addition, insights into “deceptive body language” can strengthen indications that someone may not be telling the truth, may be hiding something, or may require further elaboration on some point. This can be crucial in scenarios ranging from interrogations to high-level negotiations.
During this unique accredited training you will discover the potential of non-verbal communication, how you can communicate more effectively, improve relationships and achieve success in both your professional and personal life.
