How the 'Intermediate' training course will improve your presentation skills
This course will make rapid strides to improve your presentations and move you to another level. Building on your experience, we will focus on a number of aspects that will immediately make a difference to your presentations. We will:
- Develop your structure and planning
- Improve your self presentation
- Develop your vocal skills for passion, contrast and variety
- Harness the power of body language and presence
- Discover and eliminate 'ums', 'ahs' and other irritants
- Teach you to manage the difficult audience
- Learn techniques for dealing with questions
- Consider the 'instant' speech - impromptu speaking
- Show you the benefit of good speaker notes
- Demonstrate the art of building audience rapport
- Explore aids to ensuring audience retention
At the end of the course you will be confident and competent in your presentations. Building on from the First Steps course, or your own previous experience, you will feel empowered and enthused by your presentations and so will the audience! You will enjoy presenting and that in itself will rub off on the audience.

What our clients have to say about our intermediate presentation skills courses

Business Training Direct provided me with a learning stream that assisted me to start developing a skill that I thought was out of my reach. I was nervous about being taken out of my comfort zone but now enjoy the challenge of building on the new knowledge acquired. I do still get nervous, but instead of losing confidence, I now channel positive thoughts into the task ahead for a positive outcome.
I have nothing but praise for Ian’s training skills, the course content and the impressive standard of notes provided at the end of the training.
The course I attended was the two day intermediate and it was in my opinion excellent value for money.

Thank you so much for the last two days training. When I left I felt I could stop the public in Trafalgar Square to do an impromptu speech! My confidence was on such a high and I am now looking forward to speaking in public as opposed to be absolutely terrified! I have gained so much from the last 2 days - not only for use within a professional environment but also within my personal life.

Many thanks for getting me off the starting blocks and exceeding my expectations.
Barry Illing -
Ian attacks the course material with an abundance of enthusiasm. He gives constructive criticism and encouragement and I have noticed a real difference over the two days.
The best course I can remember doing in 35 years. I wish I had done it 20 years ago.
I got a lot from the course and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope there will be a follow-up course.

Will the course benefit me?
"I wish to take the opportunity to tell you that I have found your training to be excellent and certain to be very useful for me in the future.
It was surprising how relatively easy I could get rid of bad habits and acquire some positive skills even after doing presentations for 20 years. Anyone that thinks they can do good presentations should spend half an hour with you and they will soon find out that they should, and can, improve their skills. Many thanks."
