Thomas–Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument Certificate

Thomas–Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument Certificate Course

Conflicts are almost a certainty. While in some situations, conflicts are harmless, there are other cases where these types of situations can cause tension.

Sometimes it is easy to work through these challenging situations, but when things are hard to deal with, it can be useful to access tools that will help defuse the issue. This is where the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) comes into play. Professors of management, Ken Thomas, PhD and Ralph Kilmann PhD, created the TKI Conflict Mode Instrument to help with conflict resolution.

The TKI works with organisations and individuals to help assess how they deal with conflicts and when/where they can make changes so that effective resolutions can be made.

It can be hard to imagine that every conflict will turn out okay, but with the approach that the TKI Conflict Mode instrument takes, it is possible. Not only can this assist a person in their day-to-day life, but organisations can implement it to encourage a better workflow.

By assessing an individual and providing them with an in-depth analysis of how to react to certain conflict situations, this can not only empower an individual to make the right choice, but will also teach them how to handle future, unexpected conflict situations.

You Will Learn

  • What the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) is and why it is a useful management tool
  • How the TKI works and when it can be applied
  • About the five conflict-handling modes that can be implemented in almost every conflict situation
  • The benefits of the TKI not just for individuals, but also for members of an organisation
  • How one can obtain TKI training and certification

Benefits Of Taking this Course

  • You will learn about the TKI and why it has been such a success with individuals and organisations since being published in the 1970s. Additionally, individuals can learn how to implement the results of the assessment test in real-life situations.
  • You will learn about the TKI and how it works to create an in-depth conflict resolution profile for an individual. This profile will essentially indicate how a person should approach each conflict.
  • You will get an understanding of the five conflict-handling modes and will know what situations they should be applied.
  • You will learn what the benefits of TKI training are and why the assessment can help individuals approach conflicts with more acceptance of the situation.
  • You will know how to obtain TKI training and certification and other assessment tests, their benefits, and why using some of them in combination with the TKI can yield even better results.

As a teacher I have experienced working with children with a range of learning and physical abilities. This course helped consolidate my knowledge and understanding gained during my 12 years of teaching and working with SEN children. It also added knowledge about the various diagnoses and categories and how to recognise them to support children’s learning.

I found the course easy to navigate, informative and I enjoyed the learning experience. In the future it will help me to think of the children in my care and how best to support their learning needs to achieve the best they can. I hope to someday specialise in working with children with SEN.

What can I say? I Couldn’t wait to get started and the log in details came through via email which allowed me to be able to. The course was highly addictive once I started, it was like reading a book, you never want to put down.

It was very easy to understand and very thorough but above all, very enjoyable and exhilarating. I was only sorry when it came to an end. I am now very much looking forward to applying my newly gained knowledge into the floristry world out there. I just hope they are ready for me. I can only say a big thank you for the opportunity.

Ann Ainsworth

This course will give me the chance to engage further in my search for a career. I found this course helpful for both refreshing my memory of known skills as well as teaching me new ones.

I appreciated the chance to engage in this course as it was very interactive. I could both watch videos as well as read explanations. I could then apply that in a practice element of the course.

I have an ICT A Level and I didn’t know some of the function that were possible on word. It has been beneficial to me, even though I’m well versed in Microsoft Word.

I am about half way through my course now and it is just fantastic. Such an easy way for learning and studying from home in my circumstances is the best option for me. Very helpful when I have needed help and such a brilliant course to follow..

Kirsty Jefford

I've been out of the educational loop for the past five years now and was a little worried about starting a new course. All I can say is I certainly had nothing to worry about! Everything was set out so clearly for me to read and it was one of the most informative courses I've ever taken. I've soaked everything in like a sponge! You can't beat knowing you've got all the information sat waiting for you whenever you need a quick recap. Thank you New Skills Academy, my future can now begin thanks to you! I can't wait to get started!

Kirsty Brookes

I’m a property investor and I have an interest in property generally. I wanted to do this course to broaden my knowledge of property but also make sure I understand my rights as a buyer of property. This is a nice introduction to the profession of Estate Agency but also negotiation and building networks. It includes material on both residential and commercial property, and also property maintenance. It touches upon the Estate Agents Act 1979 which is very important. My next step will be to review the act. It is a very broad course and is a good place to start.
