Delegate instructions
Delegates must bring a 5 minute presentation (on a memory stick, plus hard copy incase of problems) to the course to present and improve upon during the morning – it can be about business or any subject that interests you.

Delegates will be expected to present in front of other delegates and the tutor, and to critique their own and other delegates’ presentations.

To ensure that all delegates receive personal feedback on their work, this course is limited to just six delegates.
