The Science of Happiness Certification
Why you should study with us
The Science of Happiness
Happiness not only makes us feel good about ourselves but also affects our lives in many ways.
The science of happiness course explains what makes human beings flourish and why we feel stressed and unhappy. Dealing with constant stress and struggling with unpleasant memories can pose barriers to happiness.
The human brain processes emotions and experiences in a certain way, and our perceptions of experiences can affect our ability to be happy.
The course explains the fundamental psychology that underlies happiness and describes techniques that can sustain long-term contentment. While some part of happiness is genetically determined, we can improve our happiness levels through personal control.
What You Will Learn:
- How happiness is defined in terms of psychology and the different emotions that contribute to happiness
- The different forms of happiness and their effects in the short and long term
- The different models of happiness and techniques to sustain long-term happiness
- How the brain processes positive experiences in terms of function
- How different types of memory contribute to happiness
- How the brain operates to trigger responsive and reactive modes
- How negativity bias affects the ability to process positive experiences
- How repetition and emotion affect the formation of neural circuits
Benefits Of Taking the Course:
- You will be able to differentiate between fleeting happiness and implement strategies that can enhance long-term satisfaction
- Once you understand how the brain works, you can enjoy higher levels of happiness
- You will discover how to focus on positive experiences and alter the way your brain processes experiences
- Higher happiness levels will help you become calmer, enjoy better health, and boost your ability to deal with challenges

I think the Admin and PA Diploma course is absolutely terrific. It gives candidates the chance to develop their skills in the PA and Administration field along with gaining some valuable personal skills along the way. It has given me the boost that I needed to be considered for different job roles in the Administration field and without this my CV would not look as good to potential employers. Giving people the chance to succeed at something they really want to be a part of makes this course brilliant in every way. The layout of each module is set out superbly !

The course covers all the necessary aspects of SEN education, and is produced in manageable modules for learning.
In terms of value and content, I would rate this as one of the best online diploma courses.

I found this course most interesting. Having been a Receptionist in various industries over the years, and learning more at each location, this course helped focus my thoughts 'back to basics' and made me rethink some of the things I'd learnt. Very helpful, very concise, informative and uncomplicated.
It also gave great insights into the different kind of Reception work which can be so varied. I have been put forward for a Doctors Receptionist vacancy, a 'trade' I haven't ventured into yet, and will take what I have learnt from the course to the interview and hopefully it will stand me in good stead.

My son has Aspergers Syndrome, so when this course Autism Awareness Diploma came up with 90% off just after Christmas, I thought I would like to do it. There was no pressure on myself and progressed at my own pace, the course is very informative with lots of hints and tips. The process of going through the Modules and assignments was also very easy to do. The cost of the course was expensive if I hadn't had 90% off. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending New Skills Academy courses to other people for their informative and ease of usage. I really enjoyed it.

Whilst doing an internship in an Estate Agency, I decided to study the Estate Agent Diploma to gain a better understanding of the regulations and the best ways to go about visits and building my network. I found the course to be very comprehensive and easy to follow.
I’d recommend this to anyone looking to broaden their knowledge of the field of Estate Agency. I found the time estimates to be right if you are simply reading, but I took several pages of notes and so took longer, as I wanted to really understand what I was reading.
Overall, comprehensive and easy to follow.

Yet another well laid out course. This is my 3rd course so far with New Skills Academy.
More than likely will be back for another one soon. This course was enjoyable to do, and I learnt a lot and passed first try. My certificate will be up on the wall soon.

Fantastic course! Well-presented and challenging with frequent assessments. I feel a serious sense of accomplishment having not studied for over 30 years! Videos that accompany each module are carefully thought out and informative. Am so impressed with this course, have now signed up for 3 other courses and recommending New Skills Academy to everyone!
Marva Hudson
Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.
Nichola Anderson
Very interesting and helpful course. I ve learned a lot of interesting things about make up and the tutorials were very helpful and easy to understand. I really reccomend this course for everyone who is passionate about make up and wish to develop their skills and make a career from their hobby.
Nicoleta Lucaci
I found this course incredibly useful, as it provided me with practical knowledge which I can implement in my role as a Support Worker. The videos were clear and concise, and the downloadable worksheets reinforced what I had learned as I was able to put pen to paper. Overall, a fantastic course for a great price! I am looking forward to taking on my next one.
