Presentation Skills

Overview

Communicating with confidence and presenting information effectively are essential professional skills that provide life-long benefits; whether speaking at a conference, seeking investment, or simply welcoming a new member to the team.

This course will help you to develop the techniques that you need to manage nerves, create outstanding presentations, and use visual aids to engage and inspire your audience.

This course is part of our Management & Leadership Fundamentals Course Bundle.

Audience

This course is perfect for anyone who is new to presenting or explaining information to others in a professional setting.

Learning Objectives

By actively participating in this course, you will learn about the following:

• Prepare, structure, and deliver a professional presentation

• Present information with confidence and impact

Prerequisites

This course is delivered in-centre or onsite at your work location. You will need to prepare a presentation which can be business-related or on a topic of choice.

Your presentation should last between five and ten minutes and you should bring any visual aids you need with you.

There will be time on the day to adjust your presentation and to practice, but there is unlikely to be time to create one from scratch.
