Alison has a wide variety of free presentation skills diploma and certificate courses. Among our top 3 most popular courses are:

1. How to Become a Professional Speaker

Sought-after motivational, business and other speakers can command large speaking fees for addressing organisations and companies. Even if that is not your goal, this course breaks down how to link messages in your speech, why it is important to be passionate about your message and what ‘performance’ skills you need.

2. Workplace Communication

Many jobs require you to give presentations to colleagues, juniors, management, clients and suppliers. You may even have to give a pitch presentation to win new business. This course is invaluable and breaks it all down for you.

3. Essential Career Soft Skills

‘Soft skills’ are things like listening, speaking and knowing how to navigate the social or human side of your business. Even if you are involved in a very technical field like surgery, IT or finance, you will still have to communicate with bosses, clients, colleagues and even patients. This course shows you how to do that easily and effectively, even if you are shy or anxious.

Humans have complex ways of communicating. The better your presentation skills, the more you can persuade others to:

• Follow you if you’re a leader

• Buy from you if you’re a seller

• Sell to you if you’re a buyer

• Listen to you if you’re a law enforcer

• Learn from you if you’re a teacher

• Use your business or service rather than someone else’s

Having good presentation skills makes it easier to win projects, manage others and get investments in your startup. They are also useful in your private life if you have to give speeches at weddings, funerals, engagements, life celebrations and other occasions.

So many careers have an element of presentation. Actors have to talk about their movies, politicians have to talk about their campaigns and even business people have to talk about their offerings. No matter what your job - teacher, journalist, influencer, coach or entrepreneur - improving your presentation skills is worth it.
