Presentation Skills - Fully Revised for 2008
How to overcome nerves and present with confidence

This presentation skills training course is for everyone who wants to improve their presentation skills - whether at meetings, seminars, training courses, client presentations or larger audience functions. Every aspect is covered, step by step, from initial preparation through to delivery of the complete presentation.

It is widely recognised that speaking to groups and audiences is one of the most difficult tasks to accomplish with distinction, yet it is the most commonly used method of communication in most organisations. Presentation skills training is a core business skill and a must for anyone wishing to be able to communicate effectively. 

The number of delegates on each course is restricted to eight to allow time for individual guidance by the course tutor. CCTV is used to help the review and analysis sessions.

Description of Course

The presention skills training course is highly participative in nature in order to develop individual skills and techniques. Delegates will have plenty of opportunity for practice in a safe environment with plenty of support, individual attention and tutor feedback in order to build delegates confidence and ability to make a professional presentation.

Delegate numbers are strictly limited on this programme to ensure that each person receives sufficient support and opportunity to practice new techniques learnt. Delegates learning objectives are considered at the beginning of the presentation skills training course so that the tutor can address individual requirements and therefore ensure that delegates get the most out of the course.

Practice sessions are recorded on CCTV and replayed for review. Delegates not only learn from the tutor but also by their own discovery of appraising their own presentations. In addition, delegates learn from one another as they apply the techniques that that gain from this course. Very often delegates can feel quite apprehensive about practicing using CCTV, however it is introduced used in a positive and non-threatening way in order to help delegates feel at ease.
