We’re currently updating our complete courses. Where the number of downloads shown to the right is greater than one, it means that the course is in the new format and the combined trainer’s notes for the entire course can be downloaded as one file. The number tells you how many downloads will be used when you download this file.

This complete course is still in the old format so the single download referred to on the right is the course agenda. The course modules referenced in the agenda will need to be download individually and will each count as one download from your allowance (if you have one).

Notes:
This is a complete course created using a range of modules from Trainers’ Library. It shows how modules can be combined to create an effective training intervention.

The agenda provides an overview of the training event with each of the icebreakers, course modules etc. taken from Trainers’ Library highlighted in blue. You will need the trainer’s notes, handouts and any other supporting materials for all of the Trainers’ Library material included in the agenda.

Please take time to read through the detail of the Trainers’ Library briefs for each of the modules we’ve suggested including in this programme.

We’ve also included additional notes in the agenda to help you deliver a well constructed and coherent learning intervention.

This course has been designed for use with all levels of staff and is intended to help participants improve their presentation skills.

This just one of many possible courses on the topic of presentation. You should consider the learning needs of your participants and the organisation’s needs and adapt this course as necessary to meet these, using alternative modules from Trainers’ Library or your own resources.
