About the programme:

The Presentation skills programme is aimed at any person who will benefit at skills in making presentations to small and large groups. Presentations are usually used in organisational proposals, sales, giving through of information, training, etc.

  • Establishing rapport with your audience

  • Making a powerful presentation
  • Getting your audience involved

  • Ending the presentation

The workshop objective:

On completion of the presentation skills workshop the participant should be able to make powerful presentations in large and small groups.

Specific outcomes of the workshop content:

The participant will be able to attain the workshop outcome by being able to:

  1. Prepare a powerful presentation by focussing on what matters most and by using the most appropriate presentation tools for the specific presentation.
  2. Start a presentation with confidence and be able to establish strong rapport with his/her audience.
  3. Give a powerful presentation and get the audience constructively involved with the presentation.
  4. Handling a question and answer session effectively
  5. Design various visual aids
  6. End a presentation with high impact and impression.

Training methodology:

Teaching by example and experiential learning probably describes the training methodology most accurately. Participants will be actively involved in the learning and the facilitators will apply the presentation techniques taught to transfer learning.
The training programme is divided into a theoretical session of one day. During this session the learner will be equipped theoretically in line with all the above outcomes. This session will also include various practical exercises where the learners will present on camera and each presentation will be discussed and developmental areas addressed.

A second session of one day will then be scheduled during which learners will get the opportunity to do a presentation in their own field. Only after being competent in this practical will the learner receive a certificate. Practical assessment will ensure that participants are able to demonstrate the specific workshop outcomes.


As with all DCT training programmes, we strive to effect actual change back at the workplace through effective and practical outcomes based training.
