Presentation Skills

MAKE EVERY MESSAGE CLEAR, CREDIBLE AND WORTH LISTENING TO

FREE Diagnostic - DISCOVER WHICH PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING YOUR ORGANISATION NEEDS

Our free five-minute organisational diagnostic tool helps you rate 12 common communication challenges and compare need across four courses. It highlights the strongest current priority, shows when a combination may be useful and prompts you to sense-check the result against learners’ experience, roles and real work situations before choosing your next step.

HOW DO PRESENTATION SKILLS TRAINING COURSES HELP YOUR BUSINESS?

Effective workplace communication is not one skill or one-size-fits-all challenge. Some people need confidence, structure and core presentation techniques. Experienced presenters may need to become more authentic, influential and assured when handling difficult questions. Leaders may need to make important messages connect emotionally, while those running meetings, workshops or group sessions must encourage participation and keep people focused on a clear outcome. Choosing training that reflects the audience, role and situation helps organisations address the real capability gap. Our four connected courses provide distinct options for developing clear messages, credible delivery, audience engagement and purposeful group communication.

INTRODUCTION TO PRESENTATION SKILLS

A full-day, drama-based course for new, nervous or inconsistent presenters. Learners build confidence while exploring audience needs, presentation structure, delivery style, visual aids and ways to manage nerves. They prepare and deliver a short presentation, receiving practical feedback to help them communicate clearly and engage their audience. We also have a digital version of this course.

Supporting employers across business, government, education and charity settings with practical, actor-led training for real workplace behaviour change.

ONE COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE DOES NOT HAVE ONE TRAINING ANSWER

People communicate in different roles, situations and formats, so an isolated course may not address every organisational need. New presenters may require practical foundations before they can communicate with confidence. More experienced presenters may need advanced techniques to strengthen their authenticity, influence and response under pressure. Leaders may already present competently but need storytelling skills that make organisational messages more meaningful and memorable. Others need to move beyond presenting information and learn how to facilitate participation, manage different voices and guide groups towards a useful outcome.

The courses can support separate audiences or form a connected development approach. Introduction to Presentation Skills and Advanced Presentation Skills can provide different options for beginner and experienced cohorts. Storytelling for Leaders adds a focused solution for leadership communication, while Facilitation Skills supports people whose role involves creating productive group discussion and involvement.

The free diagnostic provides a practical starting point. By considering the challenges your people face, their current experience and the situations in which they communicate, you can identify the strongest development priorities and decide whether one course or a combination is most relevant.

Drama-based learning, without awkward role-play

Professional actors bring realistic workplace situations to life. Your people are not asked to perform or pretend to be someone else. They can observe, discuss, question, pause the action, direct the scene and explore better responses in a safe, practical way.

  • Realistic workplace scenarios shaped around your organisation
  • Professional actors and experienced facilitators
  • Practical learning people remember and use

Some in our team were cynical about the Equality and Diversity Training before delivery. After all, we all treat people with respect, right?
The comments that started coming back after the first sessions were fabulous. People started to think about some of their behaviours and the impact of their words and actions on others. This was really powerful.

Training is normally very mundane and boring - the different delivery techniques broke up the session and I found myself looking forward to each scene. The actors , particularly the lady was bloody fabulous.

The trainer had very good knowledge of the subject matter and had plenty of case studies to back the theory/ legislation. I thought the actors were very engaging and made the situations more relatable.
