Open Courses

Speak First offers presentation skills and personal impact open courses for those who prefer to be trained in how to deliver a presentation or make an impact on others away from colleagues, or for organisations with insufficient numbers to make up an in-company group. Many people who attend our open courses remark on the value they gain from learning with people from other companies and how free they feel to talk openly about areas they want to develop.

In the comfortable environment of a purpose-built London training centre, and with the support of our experienced trainers, you will acquire new skills and push yourself to achieve fresh and challenging goals.

Our programme of Presentation Skills courses is designed to cater for all your needs. If you are new to presenting we recommend you start with our two day Confident Presenter course. If you need a refresher or have attended the Confident Presenter course and want to improve your presentations skills still further we suggest you reserve a place on the Advance Your Presentations course. The Presentations Master Class is for those experienced presenters among you who want to achieve true excellence as a presenter or public speaker.


If you want to become more assertive, develop your personal impact or become more charismatic our Personal Impact Programme is for you. This suite of courses has been created to take you on a journey to speaking with charisma, gravitas and that illusive, but much talked about, Wow Factor. Whatever your starting point we have a personal impact course to meet your needs.


We also have several other courses that will guarantee you greater success in your business relationships. Scroll down to find out what they are and when you can attend.


Speak First uses a tried and tested method that brings out the best in your people. We develop natural talent, we don’t produce clones.
