Course Details

The ‘Public Speaking and Presentation Skills’ course will set you at ease. You will learn how to deliver talks for small meetings, larger conferences and formal presentations to your colleagues.

We also cover handling those awkward questions from the floor and appearing to “think on your feet”. The workshop is designed to help complete beginners and people who want to strengthen their existing skills to create a more professional impact.

The course is highly practical and interactive, We will give each participant, the opportunity to practise and fine tune his or her presentation, using our valuable learning tool-DO LEARN DO-where you acquire and master a difficult skill by practising it over and again.

What to expect

The full day course is divided into two sessions, a short theory session followed by a much longer practical session, interspersed with tips and advice. You will take part in at least three practical exercises, developing and enhancing your messages, presenting in public and handling questions from the floor.

All exercises are reviewed and analysed. Our open courses are tailored to each participant. Pre course questionnaires are send out before to help us tailor the training. We can take a maximum of six participants per course. We send out pre course questionnaires to help us
