Presentation Skills Course programme
1 Day Intensive, 1 to 1 Course: €450

The course is ideally suited for those candidates who have found themselves in a position where they must make formal professional presentations, as well as those preparing to speak at a conference or seminar. Candidates may include sales & marketing personnel, management and / or individuals that wish to improve their own interpersonal communication skills.

Unsuccessful presentations can be attributed to many factors including some or all of the following: being nervous, lack of preparation, not understanding the set objective, communicating ineffectively or not taking advantage of the situation in order to achieve your desired objective.

The programme is customised to a one or two day course depending on the client’s individual requirements. The content is designed to address specific issues relevant for the participants.
