An
Example Of A Presentation Skills Training Course
Below
is an example of a Presentation Skills Course that we 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!
