Confident Presentation Skills

Do you have a presentation coming up that is making you feel anxious or nervous? Have you been asked to deliver a speech at an event that is giving you sleepless nights?

Our one-day Confident Presentation Skills course aims to give delegates the ability to deliver a “first class”, confident and fluent presentation to a range of audiences. You will be given a range of tips and techniques to help you keep your nerves under control, remain calm and deliver an engaging presentation that will leave a memorable and positive impact on your audience.

Our delivering presentations course is delivered by using a blend of both “Classroom” and “Online” Training. The online Presentation Skills modules can be completed at the learners own pace over a 12 month period once the 1 day Classroom course has been attended. The time required to complete the modules is around 1-2 hours. Once completed the learner can download a "personalised" CPD Certificate for their records.

You will be taught a variety of delivering presentations skills, knowledge, tools, techniques and "tricks of the trade" to be able to create an impact in front of any group including large or small "presentations", interviews, meetings, networking events or socially.

As a visual vehicle the world of presenting and "presentations" are considered using skills that can be applied to any "group situation". The day ends with the opportunity to put what you have learned into practice by delivering a short presentation in a relaxed and supportive environment and receiving constructive feedback.
