Pre Course Preparation

Delegates will need to bring with them a PowerPoint presentation of a sample of material they are likely to use. Practice will be on the delegate's own material thus added value to the time spent on the course by having material that can be immediately used – back at work. Delegates will have a videotape of their improvement through the program.
