Presentation skills

Target group
Students who want to practise presentation skills and improve their performances as public speakers.
Spoken language: English.

Content
- Structure of the presentation, tuning in to the audience;
- Lively interaction with the audience, non-verbal communication and dealing with unforeseen events;
- overcoming the fear of public speaking.

At the end of the course you will be able to do a well-structured and fascinating presentation. You will be videotaped during the training sessions.

We recommend you to buy the book "Presentation Zen" which we will be using as a practical aid in the lessons. This book will help prepare your presentation assignments both during and after the course.
