Presentation Skills
Short online CPD course
About this course
At some point in your career you will be asked to make a presentation. This may be something you do on a regular basis, such as at a team or management meeting, where you rely upon your everyday communication skills to impart information. There are, however, occasions where you will be asked to present information to an audience in a more formal manner. Most people find this to be a challenging experience. This module is designed to help you design, prepare for, and deliver powerful presentations.
