Technical Presenting to Groups
About this course
In-person (2 day)
Virtual (modular, 12 hour)
Presenting technical information can be challenging, especially when the audience is non-technical or from a different area of expertise. This course focuses on four pillars of presentation excellence: developing the right content, speaking confidently, interacting meaningfully, and using PowerPoint and other visual support. You also learn techniques to help with the special challenge of presenting complex technical information.
You leave the course with noticeably enhanced presentation skills and greater confidence in your ability to speak in front of groups.
