Effective Public Speaking

Course Overview
Overcome many of the common fears of public speaking.
Many people feel uncomfortable when speaking in public or addressing large groups. Griffith College has developed Public Speaking courses that are specifically designed for those who may be called upon to make presentations or host conferences for work.
A good speaker is confident, authoritative, energised and engaging. This course is designed to help you develop your communication skills, enable you to put your ideas across clearly, and hold the attention of your audience.
This course focuses on the development of professional skills and does not sit on the national framework; however, it leads to a Griffith College award.

What our students say
The thought of making a speech in front of a group of people was my nightmare! When I enrolled in Effective Public Speaking at Griffith College I was extremely nervous. Our lecturer was quick to put our nerves at ease and provided us with the tools to structure & deliver a successful speech. I now look forward to making presentations and genuinely feel I’ve turned my weakness into my strength!
Effective Public Speaking
The syllabus was well designed and the tutor Ann Russell was thorough and professional, providing a good level of one-to-one tuition in a small group environment. Ann gave many tips and pointers, many of which I recently put into practice whilst giving a presentation to a large audience at a conference in Panama City. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their public speaking ability.
