Mastering Great Performances in Public Presentation

"Good examples given. Will go back to these and learn from them!"

The Scottish Parliament

Presenting and public speaking can strike fear into even the most experienced professionals, and yet we need to do it every day to get our messages across and build connections with people and organisations.

This course gives participants the tools to perform at their best in different situations in order to communicate in a compelling way. Working with an experienced trainer, you will be given a chance to enhance your own public presentation skills and you will also be given new frameworks and tips to share within your organisation.

At the Civil Service College, we tailor our courses to each attendee’s role and organisations, ensuring that each delegate gets the most out of the training. Our courses and trainers are continuously updated and evaluated to ensure that we are always delivering the best service possible.
