The Learning Experience:
A highly participative course where participants will experiment with a range of approaches and draw on each others' experiences. With a mixture of tutor input, plenary discussions and syndicate exercises, each used to develop deeper understand of the issues facing you as they attempt to deliver compelling presentations.
Participants will also have the opportunity, through the use of CCTV to monitor the changes in their skills and behaviour - towards effective presentations - during the course. The course also involves participants delivering a presentation to an invited panel of cooleagues, who will ultimately critique their presentation.
There is an emphasis on participative exploration. A handbook of best practice guidelines together with a set of 'learning helpcards' supplement this course and are also provided.
