What You Learn
The Speechcraft program exposes each participant to a wide range of communication and learning experiences. Each participant receives a professionally published Toastmaster International Speechcrafter Manual plus a range of learning materials. Participants prepare and present speeches in a relaxed atmosphere. Speeches are designed with the novice in mind - you do not need any experience!!
During each meeting, short impromptu speaking sessions are conducted to help you learn to think on your feet. After each presentation you receive a constructive speech evaluation, initially from the course trainers and then from your peers. This process recognises speaker's strengths and provides valuable guidance on how future presentations may be improved.
Each participant is encouraged to embrace the Toastmasters International motto:Better Listening, Better Thinking, Better speaking
At the end of the course you will receive a signed Certificate of Completion.

Testimonials
The course truly is an excellent first step for those wishing to tackle this common fear. I can't speak more highly of course, thank you for changing my life.
It was a positive, encouraging & incredibly effective experience, and I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to boost their public speaking effectiveness in the shortest possible timeframe.
I have benefited from this course at different levels. I enjoyed the journey at the Speechcraft course and made friends with couple of the team members too.
Confidence, confidence, confidence, without it I mess everything up. I gained so much confidence compared to week 1!
I was able to put what I was learning into practice with the feedback, coaching, structure of course and learning from others.
The practice and constant positive support really boosted my confidence in public speaking.
When asked to speak about myself at a training course, I felt very confident in putting my hand up to go first when normally I used to dread this.
Having graduated from the Speechcraft program, I successfully delivered my best man speech to a 250 person wedding.
This course came right on time! I have now spoken to media using the skills from the course. The course was the right balance to push us to get better.
Welcoming environment where I felt comfortable giving the techniques a try.
This course really helped me a lot with my speaking ability. I gained so much confidence with this experience.
The fact that I could get up and finish the speech is a big achievement to me.
My goal was to practice speaking off-the-cuff to prepare me for job interviews. I breezed through my interviews thanks to the confidence I gained at Speechcraft. Highly recommend for anyone.
I’m pleased to let you know that I passed my exam with flying colours with thanks to my performance coach and the learning and experience I gained at Speechcraft.
I was constantly challenged week after week to improve. I became aware and educated on tone and expression and got ways to make my speech more interesting. I feel more confident with my speaking abilities.
Finally I now have a very clear understanding of how to structure my speeches and presentations, the impact of a strong opening and closing and the importance of body language. I should have done this years ago.
As the CEO of a large Property Funds Management business I am often called upon to speak and now feel a lot more comfortable about public speaking. This course helps you overcome these fears and achieve your personal goals..
Constantly being up in front of the audience really helped me with my fears of public speaking.
Speechcraft is a well structured course helping me gain confidence and the feedback is invaluable. Highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to improve their public speaking skills.
I was impressed by the unique structure of Speechcraft, and the relaxed, yet constructive environment which was created. I have never truly received constructive feedback and now I can see clear improvements in my speech already in just 3 weeks.
Speechcraft has given me the opportunity to gain the confidence that I required in order to complete a panel interview as well as give a speech at my grandfather’s funeral.
After experiencing Speechcraft, it has reinforced the value of a new mindset. One that can bring you real benefits, through personal growth, new knowledge and the mastery of new skills. This mindset is the lifetime of learning.
