An Example Of A Presentation Skills Training Course

Below is an example of a Presentation Skills Course that I designed and delivered in the past 6 months:

This was a 2 day in-company course designed to develop presentation, communication and public speaking skills.

Delegates were required to prepare a short presentation prior to attending the course and an outline of another, these were delivered on several occasions resulting in the "finished article" on day 2!

Delegates were videoed and kept their tapes of the "before" and "after" presentations!
