Training Course Methods

· A variety of training methods are used, including group discussion, syndicate work and 'skill practice'. Participants complete a practice presentation (a 10 minute business presentation of their choosing) during the day, receiving detailed feedback on their strengths and development areas.

· A feature of the presentation skills training course is the use of a Knowledge/Skill Checklist - a list of the knowledge and skills being developed on the course. Participants rate themselves before and after the training course, to establish the extent to which they have benefited from the course. This also gives the participant, and their line manager, further analysis of their strengths, highlighting any further development needs.

· Delegates will be supplied with full support documentation, supplied in spiral bound format.

· A mini exhibition of interpersonal skill books, additional handouts and 'hints and tips' sheets will be provided in the training room, for delegates to visit during 'down-time' e.g. at breaks; finishing an exercise before others.

· Prior to delivery of the presentation skills training course, we would host a telephone meeting with you to establish the nature of the delegate's roles, their strengths and development areas and any areas of the course you would like us to emphasise.
