Overview

It's rare to see a job description without these words: 'Must have excellent communication skills.' But have you ever found yourself wondering what that means or how to demonstrate you’re a good communicator?

In this module, you’ll learn about the communication process, the traits of a great communicator, how to use three types of communication effectively, the importance of active listening, how to choose the right delivery method for your message, and how to remove barriers to having it understood.

The module is aimed at 'operator' level. However, some supervisors and managers may also find this module beneficial.
