Formats for Public Speaking Classes 

Many public speaking classes are offered as on-site, company specific courses that can be tailored to your organization's specific public speaking needs. On-site trainings allow you the comfort of having a trainer come to you, and are an effective way of facilitating a training session that gives all employees the same information which is immediately applicable to their work. 

E-learning and self-paced trainings offer employees the flexibility to develop their skills at their own pace, with opportunities to apply their new found competence in communication as they learn. Technology continues to develop and training opportunities are following suit, but the ancient art of communication isn't going anywhere.
