The Principles of Public Speaking

A one day course (or an adapted evening course held over three weeks) that teaches students how to overcome fear, build confidence and understand nerves. Students also learn how to develop their relationship with the audience, how to make natural and effective gestures and how to write for an audience.

The Presentation Tool Kit

This is also a one day course that will give you everything you need to make a PowerPoint presentation that will be remembered for all the right reasons.

Courses can also be booked that are two days which is a combination of the one-day courses, and a four-day intensive training course which gives a really detailed look at the delivery and construction of an effective presentation. Students are taught advanced skills such as how to refine their delivery by using their voices effectively. All courses are designed to be enjoyable and are based on learning through discussion rather than formal lectures, with plenty of fun breaks included in each session.
