Some would say there's nothing more nerve-wracking than standing up in front of hundreds or even thousands of strangers to give a presentation or speech, and we wouldn't disagree.
Our Public Speaking course has been designed by our expert presentation and communication trainers to prepare you the next time you have to deliver your message with impact and confidence. You'll learn tips to manage your nerves and, therefore, ooze confidence. There is no need to be worried, Public Speaking is incredibly empowering and we can help you to fulfil your potential.
WHY THIS COURSE?
At City Academy, our Public Speaking Courses will teach you how to deliver a clear and captivating message to a large audience. Our life skills workshop isn't just about ensuring you come across as a knowledgeable and confident individual, but also about delivering your information in a structured and original style that will stick with the audience for days, if not weeks.
Our classes are limited to 8 students to make sure everyone is given individual feedback.

Working with one of our performance and business communication skills specialists, during our workshop you will learn:
- The best communication techniques for an engaging performance
- How to structure engaging presentations that pack a punch
