  • The number of delegates on each course is restricted to eight to allow time for individual guidance by the course tutor. CCTV is used to help the review and analysis sessions.

    Practice sessions are recorded on CCTV and replayed for review. Delegates not only learn from the tutor but also by their own discovery of appraising their own presentations. In addition, delegates learn from one another as they apply the techniques that that gain from this course. Very often delegates can feel quite apprehensive about practicing using CCTV, however it is introduced in a positive and non-threatening way in order to help delegates feel at ease.

    This course is a residential programme and includes additional group evening work designed to enhance the learning process. It is therefore advisable, but not mandatory, for delegates to stay at the venue. The venue used has been hand selected and provides the most effective combination of learning environment and value for money. Unless otherwise advised, delegates will be booked into the venue and will therefore be required to settle their bed, breakfast and evening meal costs with the venue upon departure.
