Workshop Effective Presenting in English, Karlsruhe,Germany

The training centre (FTU) of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) offers a course 'Effective Presenting in English’ in Karlsruhe on 08 - 09 October 2014.

8 October 2014 - 9 October 2014
Germany
Presentations are a natural part of any professional job. Today, nearly everybody has to make a presentation sometimes. Your audience only has the chance to hear what you say once. They can't "re-read" it when they get confused. So it is very important that your audience understands and remembers your message.

This training course is to help you to present more effectively in English to an international audience. You will practice how to influence and make an impact on them. You will learn how to deal with any difficult situations which could arise during the presentation. You will feel more confident and relaxed when presenting in English. Personal feedback from the trainer will make you aware of your strengths and enable you to make the most of your personal talents and qualities.

By the end of the course you will
• be able to structure your presentation to support your message
• know how to open and close your presentation convincingly
• develop an interactive approach to your audience
• impact the audience through proven persuasion techniques
• be able to use visual aids for maximum effect
• feel more confident in speaking internationally
• have learnt how to control your “stage fright”.

The training is not only beneficial to scientists and engineers but also to all professionals who have to deliver presentations to various audiences. The focus will be on technical / scientific presentations but many of the ideas are applicable to any business presentation.

It is limited to 12 participants in order to ensure a high quality standard.

Participants are asked to prepare two short presentations in advance and bring them along to the course:
1. A one minute self presentation
2. A three minute professional presentation of some aspect of your work

Course fee: 995 EUR, KIT employees and EARMA members 895 EUR.

The fee includes tuition, documentation, certificate, morning coffees, lunches, afternoon teas, refreshment drinks.
