Speaking with Confidence

Selwyn Community Education is based at Selwyn College, Kohimarama, Auckland.

This course runs over eight sessions with a weekly session 6:30 - 8:30 PM on Mondays starting 1 August 2022. A course fee subsidy is available for qualifying NZ citizens and permanent migrants. This is funded through the Tertiary Education Commission and conditions apply.

Does the mere thought of public speaking make you want to run a mile? Do you dread presentations? Public speaking is a learned skill. You will learn the techniques and have plenty of practice time. Become a confident speaker, and have fun getting there.

This course covers preparation, content and delivery of many types of speaking. For example, speaking to groups, event speeches, interviews, customer service, even “small talk”. There will be many opportunities to practise speaking in a supportive environment, and you will receive constructive feedback to improve your speaking step-by-step.

Our mission is to provide quality affordable and accessible lifelong learning opportunities for our community.
