"Excellent course, I struggle with confidence and this has greatly helped."

Presentation training

We run two distinct presentation training courses: the first is a general course to help people be more effective and confident when they stand up and talk to others, the second specifically addresses presentations to win work.

Course format
Each course is designed to fill a day and delegates are required to prepare presentations for delivery during the session. Both courses involve role-play and discussions as well as teaching. All presentations are videoed and reviewed on the day, to help delegates develop confidence. A printed, bound set of courses notes will be given to each delegate. Following the session, a copy of the video will be available. Each day is limited to 8 delegates.

 

Course content
All in-house courses can be tailored to meet the exact requirements of individual practices.
