MODULE 1
FOUNDATIONS OF CONFIDENT AND CREDIBLE TRAINING

Delegates explore their training persona, understand how psychological safety underpins learning, and develop self-awareness to maximise impact in the room. The module creates strong personal foundations from which effective training performance can grow.
MODULE 2
TRAINING DESIGN, COMMUNICATION AND MESSAGE IMPACT
This module develops the structural and communication skills required to design and deliver training that sticks. Delegates learn how to structure courses for maximum impact, understand what truly influences learning retention, and refine their communication style to land key messages with clarity and confidence. The module bridges strong design with confident delivery, preparing delegates for live training practice.
MODULE 3
LIVE DELIVERY, PRACTICE AND REAL-WORLD APPLICATION
The final module is highly practical and performance-focused. Delegates apply their learning through multiple live training sessions, receiving expert feedback and opportunities to reflect, refine, and re-deliver. Participants are challenged to handle difficult questions, manage challenging dynamics, and maintain confidence under pressure. This module builds real confidence by doing—not just learning, moving even the shiest of presenters into confident, authoritative trainers.

Laura was very engaging and tailored the course to suit not only our personal objectives and needs but also allowed space and time for group discussion, learning and enhancements. We have got such valuable group learnings to go along with our personal learnings. From concept to content to delivery - the course nailed it.
Todd Whymark
Kensa
This course was much more than I expected, I thought it was going to be a PowerPoint heavy tick box, like most of the courses I have completed, it developed me as a trainer giving me confidence in my own delivery style and approach to content creation. Darren was encouraging and engaging and showed a real passion for this course. I didn’t realise how much I was going to look into my own approach to the training I deliver guided fantastically by Darren his feedback was understandable and relatable to my own journey. Thanks so much.
Carly Williams
Liberation Group
I was really nervous about presenting to people before the course but Dan was so friendly and made me realise that I already had a lot of the skills necessary and I just had to tap into those. Then the practice really cemented things. I also got a lot of theory behind why what works actually works which was also super interesting.
