SURREY SPEAKERS COURSE
Speak Well, Speak Confidently
How does the program work?
The Surrey Speakers Course public speaking program provides each participant with a wide range of communication and learning experiences in small group workshops run weekly over a six week period.
Each participant receives a professionally published Surrey Speakers Course Manual plus a range of learning materials.
Training in key speaking skills is provided.
Speaking skills appicable to many different areas are explained before each speaking assignment.
Participants prepare and present speeches in a relaxed atmosphere. Speeches are designed with the novice in mind – you do not need any experience! Some preparation outside of course hours is required.
During each meeting, short impromptu speaking sessions are conducted to help you learn to think on your feet.
Each participant develops skills through the 3-point program of: ‘Better Listening, Better Thinking, Better Speaking’.
After each presentation you receive a constructive speech evaluation, initially from the course trainers and then from your peers. This process recognises a speaker’s strengths and provides valuable, constructive guidance on how future presentations may be improved.
At the end of the course you will receive a signed Certificate of Completion.
