What is the Focus of this Presentation Skills Course?
The objective of this course is to help you cope with the inevitable nerves that accompany making a presentation. We also address preparation and delivery skills, so that you leave with the following benefits:
Confidence
This course is very practical, with plenty of time given to practising your presentation delivery skills in a constructive, supportive environment. Over 2 days, you will make short, easy presentations that will develop your confidence.
Delivery Skills
Our trainers have a wealth of experience delivering presentations and speaking in public. They bring this knowledge, including many tips on tone, style and body language to the course.
Handle the Unexpected
Sometimes, the most daunting part of giving a presentation is the possibility of unexpected questions. We teach you how to handle these questions with ease.
Key Preparation Techniques
"Fail to prepare, prepare to fail" - this well-known quote certainly applies to giving a presentation. This course equips you with preparation techniques to set yourself up for success.
Valuable Feedback
Our proven course format provides time for practising, receiving feedback, and improving as you learn.

How Can In-House Training Benefit Your Business?
We regularly run our Presentation Skills as an in-house workshop for clients who have sales or management teams that are required to make presentations or speak in public as part of their roles.
In-house (also called “in-company”) training is a highly-effective and efficient way of delivering a consistent skill-set to your team. If you have several potential candidates for training within your team or organisation, in-house could be the best way to deliver that training for maximum impact.
5 Benefits of In-House Training
Date Flexibility
When we deliver an in-house workshop, you choose a training date that works in-line with your business calendar.
Cost-Efficient
Our per-day in-house rate can work out at a significantly lower cost per person than if each participant attended a public course.
Customisation
We will tailor the workshop content to centre around the priorities, goals, and challenges of your team.
Minimum Disruption
As you choose the date and we come to your premises to deliver training (or deliver online), there is minimum disruption and downtime for your team's productivity.
Consistency
Holding a Presentation Skills workshop in your business ensures that each member of the team receives the same foundation skills and preparation techniques.
