Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our courses

What level of experience is required for your courses?

Our courses are designed for various experience levels. The Fundamentals course is perfect for beginners, while our Executive and Persuasive programs are better suited for those with some speaking experience. The Anxiety course is appropriate for all levels, as nervousness affects speakers of all experience levels.

How many participants are in each course?

All public courses have a maximum of 12 participants to ensure personalized attention and ample practice time. Private corporate training can be adjusted based on your needs, though we recommend no more than 15-20 participants for optimal results.

What's included in the course fee?

The course fee includes all training materials, comprehensive workbooks, video recordings of your practice presentations, lunch and refreshments during the course days, and 30 days of email follow-up support from your instructor.

Do you offer virtual training options?

Yes, all our courses are available in virtual formats. Virtual sessions are structured differently with shorter modules spread over more days to optimize the online learning experience. All the same content is covered, with additional focus on virtual presentation techniques.

Is there a dress code for the courses?

We recommend business casual attire that you feel comfortable in. For the practice presentations, we suggest dressing as you would for an actual presentation in your professional context to make the experience more authentic.

How should I prepare for a course?

Upon registration, you'll receive pre-course materials and instructions. Generally, we ask participants to prepare a short 2-3 minute introduction about themselves and to consider specific speaking situations they want to improve. No extensive preparation is required beyond that.
