This short course, featuring personal feedback on your skills from trainers and peers, focuses on communication skills in English. The key to delivering strong messages when presenting is not the presenter’s ability to use a language well, although this certainly helps.
More importantly, the key to good presenting is to understand how the dynamics of communication work in this medium, and how to choose between the various tools we have (such as voice or imagery), and how to develop the presentation’s content which fits your message and fulfils the audience’s interests or expectations.
The essence to developing powerful presentations then doesn’t start with your content or what you want to say – it starts with understanding the audience’s perspective and what you want them to hear.
Over the five weeks, you will:
During the group coaching, we will offer you lots of advice on how you can use English more effectively and, more importantly, provide you with new skills for a communicative approach to delivering Powerful Presentations.

Week 1: Course introduction
In week one students are required to participate in a forum discussing presenting and getting to know one another. Additionally, students will need to send in a presentation recording as well as deliver a PowerPoint to their coach for analysis. This will form the basis of the coaching over the next 4 weeks.

Week 2: Frame your message
Know your audience’s expectations and define your communication objective concisely. Furthermore, we will teach you how to refine the message by understanding your audience and what they want out of the presentation. Finally, we will look into understanding strategies for persuasive presentations.

About Your Coaches,
Andrew and Andy
Write this section in third-person, meaning you should not use the words ‘I’ or ‘We’ or ‘Me’. Instead, talk about the course teacher objectively using 'he' or 'she' even if you are the teacher! It’s time to show off your achievements and prove why you are the right person to be teaching this topic.
But just after you’ve talked yourself up, make sure you end on a friendly note. You don’t want to sound intimidating, you want to sound knowledgeable and friendly.

Subheading About Why Your Course Is Valuable
This section is all about price anchoring. In a moment, your visitor will be seeing the price of your online course, so you want to begin talking about the value of your course in this section so that when they finally see the price, they feel that it is reasonable.
This section is not required, but it is common on Sales Pages for online courses, especially if they are highly priced.
If you do want to include this section, help the visitor by explaining how the alternate solutions to their problems can cost much, much more than your course.
Perhaps you want to tell them what it costs to get this equivalent teaching at university. Or perhaps you’ll tell them how much you would charge for a few hours of private coaching. The goal is to give them something to gauge the upcoming price against.
This section works best if you directly list monetary numbers, such as $5000. Anyone skimming the page will immediately stop when they see a dollar sign and read the text around it. When they realise this is not the course price, they’ll keep scrolling until they do find the price and gauge it against the first number they saw.
