Presentation (advanced)
The Presentations (advanced) module covers the advanced skills needed to plan and create effective presentations, manage and protect presentations, as well as the technical considerations of giving presentations.
Presentations are helpful in a wide range of business settings and are now a standard communication tool.
At the same time, how information is presented has a big impact on how well that information is understood. Workers need to be able to communicate complex information in ways that suit different types of audience and for different purposes.
This module is suitable for a wide range of candidates; for example, employees who need to share knowledge with others, entrepreneurs pitching for support or investment, business people selling a product or service, or academics presenting research findings or new projects.
Develop the skills needed to plan, create, and deliver presentations to a range of audiences.
