1. Presentation Skills: Create and Deliver Compelling Presentations
This course can benefit anyone who presents; a trainer, a meeting facilitator, speaker, or seminar discussion leader. No matter which role you are assuming, this Course will help you become more efficient and proficient with the skills of providing information to others.
Covering everything from writing your first needs analysis to running the presentation itself, this course will equip you with the skills and confidence to organise and host successful and professional presentations that get your message across whether you're pitching an idea, making a sale or sharing knowledge with your team.
2. Public Speaking: Deliver Powerful Speeches and Outstanding Presentations
According to a recent survey, 41% of people list public speaking as their biggest fear. Forget small spaces, darkness, and spiders, standing up in front of a crowd and talking is far more terrifying for most people. Through this course you will become more confident and relaxed in front of an audience which will translate into a successful speaking event.
However, mastering this fear and getting comfortable speaking in public can be a great ego booster, not to mention a huge benefit to your career. The Public Speaking course will give you some basic public speaking skills, including in-depth information on developing an engaging program and delivering your presentation with power.
3. Communication Strategies: Build Better, Stronger, and More Fulfilling Relationships
For the better part of every day, we are communicating to and with others. Whether it’s the speech you deliver in the boardroom, the level of attention you give your spouse when they are talking to you, or the look that you give to the cat, it all means something.
This course will help you understand the different methods of communication and how to make the most of each of them.
4. Public Speaking Presentation Survival School: Learn How To Make Yourself a Better Speaker and Presenter
A great presenter has two unique qualities: appropriate skills and personal confidence. This confidence comes from knowing what information you have and how to communicate it effectively.

5. Business Writing: Become an Expert at Writing Effective Emails, Letters, Reports and More
We all know that writing is one of the most important methods of business communication for most people, whether its e-mails, memos, proposals, or major reports. Lots of people struggle with the composition of these. Sometimes it's because they don't have to do it very often so, therefore, it doesn't flow as easily as they would like, sometimes because they are new to a role, or just because it's not their favorite thing.
