Advanced Presentation Skills

The Presentation Skill Programme takes participants through a learning experience that develops their personal ability to undertake both verbal and written presentations.

The course helps individuals to evaluate their influencing capabilities through their presentations, to learn new techniques to improve their influencing and to practice and receive coaching on these techniques.

Participants will be required to undertake some advanced course preparation on a subject that they will then be required to be presented during the programme details of which will be provided with the joining instructions. For this reason, the course attendance is ideally suited to a maximum of eight participants. Classes in excess of eight may exclude some participants from making a personal presentation.
