What you'll learn

Six Channels. One Integrated System.

The SCAnS® framework teaches you to read all six communication channels simultaneously - turning subjective impressions into structured analysis.

😊

Facial Expressions

Identify the 7 universal emotions through macro and micro-expressions. Spot asymmetry, timing anomalies, and masked expressions.

🗣️

Voice

Analyse vocal pitch, pace, volume shifts, and paralinguistic cues. Detect stress-induced changes and emotional leakage.

🤸

Body Language

Move beyond myths. Identify gestural slips, illustrators, manipulators, and tension signals that are actually meaningful.

💬

Interactional Style

Analyse turn-taking, interruptions, topic avoidance, bridging behaviours, and response latency patterns.

📝

Verbal Content

Apply CBCA, detect linguistic distancing, tense shifts, evasiveness, and impression management strategies.

💓

Psychophysiology

Understand observable physiological responses — skin changes, pupil dilation, breathing patterns, and their diagnostic value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any prior experience?

No. The SCAnS® Certificate is designed for both complete beginners and experienced professionals. We cover everything from fundamentals to advanced application across all six channels.

What's the difference between Group Workshop and 1:1 Mentoring?

Both cover the same content and lead to the same SCAnS® Certificate. The Group Workshop (£750) runs over 2 scheduled days with up to 16 participants — great for peer learning and group exercises. The 1:1 Mentoring (£1,500) gives you 10 hours of private coaching split into sessions of your choice — ideal if you want personalised attention, flexible scheduling, or can't commit to a fixed date.

How does the 1:1 Mentoring scheduling work?

After booking, you'll receive a link to schedule your sessions with your assigned trainer. You can split the 10 hours however works best — for example, five 2-hour sessions, ten 1-hour sessions, or any combination. Sessions are held via Zoom or Teams.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. Payment plans are available on both options. For the Group Workshop (£750) you can split into 3 monthly payments. For the 1:1 Mentoring (£1,500) you can spread over up to 6 months. All plans are 0% interest.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Group Workshop: cancellations 30+ days out receive a full refund. 15-29 days: 50% refund or free transfer. Less than 15 days: transfer to another date. 1:1 Mentoring: individual sessions can be rescheduled with 48 hours' notice at no charge.

What happens after I complete the certificate?

The SCAnS® Certificate is the foundation of the SCAnS® pathway. From here, you can progress to SCAnS® Coder (advanced analysis), then SCAnS® Trainer (become a licensed trainer). Many participants also pursue the MSc in Communication, Behaviour & Credibility Analysis with Manchester Met.
