Presentation Skills eLearning
Online presentation skills training: structuring what you say, handling nerves, using slides that help rather than distract, and dealing with the questions afterwards.
Who it is for
Who this presentation skills course is for
Presenting badly is not a personality trait. It is a set of habits, and they can be changed: structure, preparation, delivery and the discipline to stop putting everything on the slide.
- Anyone who presents to colleagues or clients
- Managers running team briefings
- Trainers and internal presenters
- Bid and sales teams
- People presenting on video calls
- Anyone who dreads presenting
Course content
What the presentation skills course covers
Eight short modules from working out what the presentation is actually for, through delivery, to the questions at the end.
Purpose and audience
What you want the audience to do, and what they already know.
Structure
Opening, argument and close, and why the middle is where people lose the room.
Slides that help
What a slide is for, and why reading them aloud fails.
Delivery
Pace, pauses, eye contact and using your voice deliberately.
Nerves
What nerves actually do, and the preparation that reduces them.
Presenting on video
Camera, framing, energy and holding attention through a screen.
Handling questions
Listening to the question asked, and answering the ones you cannot answer.
Practice and feedback
Rehearsing usefully rather than reading it through once
Outcomes
What you will be able to do afterwards
- Define what a presentation is for before building it
- Structure a talk with a clear opening and close
- Build slides that support rather than duplicate what you say
- Use pace, pause and eye contact deliberately
- Manage nerves through preparation
- Present effectively on a video call
- Handle questions, including ones you cannot answer
Practicalities
How the course works
For employers
Presentation Skills training for a team
Presentation standards rise fastest when a whole team learns the same structure. Briefings get shorter and clearer across the board.
- One invoice instead of a card payment per person
- Licences allocated as people join, so induction is covered
- Completion and expiry reporting for your records
- Renewal reminders before certificates lapse
- Bespoke versions built around your own procedures
The wider communication skills course covers listening, questioning and feedback. See Effective Communication →
Presentation Skills eLearning: common questions
Yes, as a full module. The course treats nerves as something preparation reduces rather than something to be talked out of.
Yes. Camera, framing, energy and holding attention through a screen are covered separately, because presenting on video is a different skill.
Partly. One module covers what a slide is actually for and why reading slides aloud fails, but the course is about the whole presentation rather than software.
Very. Most presenting people do is internal: team briefings, updates and toolbox talks. Those benefit most from a clear structure.
The structure, delivery and question-handling modules apply directly, though it is a general course rather than a sales-specific one.
About 30 minutes, with no time limit. Start it, pause it, and come back whenever suits. The certificate is issued the moment you finish.
Yes. It runs in a browser on any modern phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install.
Yes. Open a business account and we invoice you for the licences, which you allocate as people need them. Completion reporting is included.
