First Presentation Skills - 1 Day In-House Workshop

Public Course Dates Available - Our public version of this course runs at 6 different locations across the UK.  Click for detailsThis highly supportive one day in-house workshop has been designed to help people who have never presented before overcome their fear of presenting and public speaking.

It is also an excellent course for those who have presented very occassionally in the past but are still extremely nervous about this and try to avoid presenting at all costs.

By taking part in a number of practical exercises throughout the day, delegates will progressively build up their self confidence during the workshop. They will also learn to plan, structure and deliver their first presentation in front of an audience. Key skills and techniques are developed in an informal, risk free environment. Personal feedback is an essential element of the training and each participant will receive plenty of individual coaching during the day.
