This is an interactive course which involves group and individual exercises, group discussions and individual presentations.
Structure and Style
- Structure will look at the content of your presentation and how to make it engaging and concise
- Style will look at the delivery of the presentation – Body Language, Vocals and Fear.
No prior knowledge is required.
You can be new to presenting or someone who is looking to improve your skills.
Pre-Course Work
If you require Professional Skills Course (PSC) training credits, you will be required to complete all of the following pre-course work exercises in accordance with the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority (SRA)’s requirements:
- Exercise 1: Prepare a 3-minute presentation (30 minutes)
- Exercise 2: Structure: Power of Three (30 minutes)
- Exercise 3: Authentic Presenting Style (2 hours)
If you do not require training credits, you will not be required to complete all of the exercises, but are strongly advised to complete at least Exercise 1 for your own benefit, as this exercise forms a key part of the day.
Post-Course Work
The post-course work is to consolidate what you learnt on the course and is an opportunity to address any knowledge gaps and improve your presentation skills through exercises and/or a personal development plan.
If you require PSC training credits, you will be required to complete all of the following post-course work exercises in accordance with the SRA requirements:
- Exercise 4: Body Language: Amy Cuddy (1 hour)
- Exercise 5: Breathing and Vocals (30 minutes)
- Exercise 6: Personal Development Plan (1 hour 30 minutes)
If you are a solicitor, the reflective element of the post-course work can be referenced to the SRA Competence Statement and will count towards your responsibility to maintain the required competencies to continue in practice.
