Presentation Skills: Aims & Objectives

On completion of the Presentation Skills course, participants will have an understanding of the basics of presentation and communication skills, both in general and specific to themselves. The course is fully participative and the opportunity is taken to “learn by doing” This enables participants to analyse and improve business presentation skills for themselves and their team members.

Presentation Skills is developed specifically for Business Owners and Managers who are required to make business presentations, both to external audiences and for internal use. This is a course which is developed and run at the level of the participants, whether they have no business training in presentation skills or have extensive experience in public speaking. The course is focused on providing participants with a wide range of skills and abilities to assess and improve their presentation skills. 

Each Presentation Skills Course is amended and customised so that it best meets the needs of the host group. Participants are encouraged and expected to develop and use their own material so that the skills learned and developed are of maximum benefit and application.

The ideal number of participants ranges from eight to twelve, though larger and smaller groups can be catered for. Course Duration runs from a half day Workshop to two full days. Courses can be run on or off site as required.
