How many presentation training participants are on each PresentPerfect course?

We designed the PresentPerfectTM training training course for up to six participants. Of course some courses will have fewer participants enrolled on them – not least because of the course location. However no public course will have more than six students.
We aim to have courses balanced with students of similar presentation skills ability–beginners, intermediate or advanced speakers. That’s because your learning is enhanced when you train with other people with similar skill levels.
Our training centres are equipped with suitable rooms and room layouts to support a class size of six presentation training participants.

Can participants with a mix of presentation ability attend the same presentation course?

Each PresentPerfect participant acquires a fresh insight into their public speaking skills. Thus they develop new techniques, regardless of their starting position.

Do you use video recordings when you teach the art of public speaking?

In each PresentPerfectTM session we use a unique system for providing feedback to a speaker. That feedback closely replicates the feedback provided by a real audience. Because with video, we noted too often that speakers became preoccupied with their own perception of their video self and not the real perceptions of their audience.
Therefore our conclusion was that video did not assist in real public speaking development. Noting that, please don’t hesitate to let us know if your public speaking is more likely to include a direct media audience and we can provide for video feedback in your training.

What is needed for confident public speaking?

In time the basics will become second nature. But good solid preparation and planning remains critical to success. Because no matter the level of your public speaking abilities, your preparation remains vital for confident speaking.
Just knowing that you are fully prepared and that you are familiar with your speech will boost your confidence.
You will learn more confidence boosting skills when you participate in a PresentPerfectTM public speaking training course.

With a training course you have the chance to learn all the principles of effective public speaking. You can practise the best techniques and receive the top tips. You have the opportunity to practise these skills in a safe environment with the right level of positive feedback.

What PowerPoint public speaking tips are taught on the training course?

We teach a range of PowerPoint public speaking tips, tools and techniques. The focus is on you as speakers. We want you to get the most from the important PowerPoint package. PowerPoint has superior graphics, imagery and video. But typically these features of the software are less frequented than over-used and tired bullet lists. So, we will show you a range of public speaking tips to ensure you get the most from PowerPoint.
During the PresentPerfectTM public speaking course you will learn how to use alternatives to the bullet list format. For example, you will work on a speech illustrated only by pictures without any bullet points at all. Of course, we also aim to promote other alternatives to PowerPoint wherever possible.
