Intermediate Presentation Skills Course
The Intermediate Course continues the training although many people join this course directly. It is assumed that candidates have given some presentations although they may still be nervous, unsure and lacking in confidence. This two day course still builds confidence, but focuses on various components of a good presentation i.e. delivery style eye contact, body language, gestures, use of voice as well as construction and structure. Through a number of exercises constructive feedback continues to develop the speaker leading to a prepared 5 minute presentation. Day two further enhances the skill set- continuing to develop new skills and understanding. A second presentation is delivered in the afternoon with full feedback from the trainer.
