Absolute joy to spend some time with these guys and learn a skill as valuable as public speaking

I had a great experience being trained at the College of Public Speaking. It really catapulted my career as a trainer and public speaker. The environment is wam and supportive and the tools and techniques you learn are invaluable as a speaker. The curriculum is vast and covers a whole range of material, ranging from technical skills to how to deal with speaker nerves and anxiety. Highly recommended!

Great experience with Vince over a weekend course in Public Speaking. I loved his easygoing approach and inspirational teaching of techniques and ways to tackle your anxieties as a public speaker and make it a rewarding experience. Vince managed a very diverse group of people very well and made everyone feel special and motivated to explore his/her potential and perform practice speeches in front of the group audience. Fantastic couple of days that thought me things about myself I didn’t know and gave me new directions for inquiry and development as a public speaker.Thank you!

I went into this course with the expectation of dramatically improving my speaking skills for personal & professional use. Vince was approachable, intelligent & supportive. The environment allowed me and the others on the course to thrive. I gained confidence & many skills including how to speak of the cuff and vary tonality. I went on the 5 day course which I felt was value for money. I tried one of Vince Competitors before I tried Vince, it was more money but not as much value, Vince's courses are smaller & more effective.

It is no exaggeration to say that going on this course has changed my life. For over 20 years I was convinced that I was completely incapable of speaking in public. Vince has a wonderful way of working with people to bring out the best in them, and I would highly recommend his courses. This is the beginning of a very exciting new chapter in my life. Thank you so much Vince!

As a first timer to Public Speaking I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I went in with an open mind anyway....It was a great and interesting experience for me personally presenting to complete strangers, it's definitely well worth it. I'd recommend anyone to give it a go! even if you're not sure about it! I met a nice group of people on the day, and for me the training itself was nicely structured with practical speaking, relevant tips from other speakers, theory and feedback. In the end I felt better about myself for having attended, it really helps you assert a mindset and a confidence for speaking in public. Thanks Vince.

This is an excellent public speaking course - a wonderful mix and balance of theory and practical exercises. Constructive feedback from Vince (course tutor) and fellow attendees enables progression and development of speaking skills throughout the week. Such a supportive and safe environment to practice and improve any areas of weakness. Speeches are recorded, played back and discussed in detail within the group so you can see the areas you need to focus on and improve. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop and enhance their public speaking skills. Thoroughly enjoyable and most definitely worthwhile.

From the beginning of the course Vince gets the perfect balance of theory and talking. I have just come back to work after a major illness and my confidence at work was low. Completing this course has giving me the tools and self-confidence I need to stand out at work and stop sitting back and hiding. Vince thanks for getting me back on track. Brilliant Training!

I found the '5 Day' course a great balance of theory and practice, and the opportunity to go 'under the microscope' is incredibly valuable. It was clear that all the students were making rapid progress from one day to the next.
Vince is a supportive teacher who kept the training fun. The time certainly does go quickly! I also found his analysis of what causes anxiety in the context of public speaking particularly interesting and helpful.

I attended one of Vince's one day Advanced Public Speaking courses in Nov 2017, and enjoyed every aspect of it. It was much more informal than I thought it would be, and consequently I felt completely at ease from the off. The small group I worked with were all very personable & supportive and the day flew by. Vince is very engaging and his relaxed, and yet professional style of teaching ticked all the boxes for me. I am very much looking forward to putting all my newly learned skills into practice!

Hi Vince, Each of the 5 days were insightful, fulfilling and every session provided a new angle to learn about public speaking. Most importantly I gained knowledge about myself and areas of improvement. I cannot over emphasise that how important it is to start your PS journey at the right place and I am really pleased that I started with your 5 days course. One of the best courses I have ever attended ! It was just what I needed.

I was impressed with how much progress we made in one day. Vince presents the course really well and creates a great atmosphere for learning and building confidence. The mix of theory and practice works well to put public speaking in perspective and provides the tools to prepare for it physically and psychologically. I’m now looking forward to our annual conference to try it all out.

Vince’s Course is incredibly engaging and I found the tuition both fun and enjoyable. The real learning came for me in the mindset and psychological aspects of the course. Having a clear strategy of engagement makes all the difference. Thank you Vince. I’ll remember you and the course for a long time.

I have a fear of public speaking and therefore have just attended a one day course with Vince from the College of Public Speaking.
The course was very cleverly programmed with lectures, excerises and short speeches designed to gently show you that there is little to fear from speaking in public. It have given me great confidence to face up to a speech I have to give at my daughter’s wedding in a few months. Highly recommended.

Due to my anxiety I was nervous about attending this course however I needn't of worried! Vince was very welcoming and so approachable. Having a small group of like-minded people made the environment very settling and it was nice to share our experiences and work through our difficulties. I had such an enjoyable day and met some really nice people. Vince ran this course brilliantly and I highly recommend it. I will always remember that anxiety does not exist, we create it.

I took part in Vince’s five-day public speaking course recently and it was a real eye opener for me. Vince built inner confidence through a series of exercises, practice and positive reinforcement. The students were a diverse group from all over the world, and we really bonded as we saw how each and every one of us grew in confidence and performance skill through the week. Highly recommended!

I took part in a two day course with Vince and was really pleased with the content and approach, and felt it allowed me to develop a lot of confidence. I particularly liked the focus on putting your natural personality at the centre of your speaking style which I feel is most likely to drive sustainable improvements. The balance seemed just right between practice and discussion and the supportive atmosphere with other attendees that Vince culivates is very helpful.

Vince is a brilliant trainer. You are taken on a journey to improve presentation and speaking technique. I would recommend this for all abilities. You'll find your faults in a comfortable environment that will still stretch your current skills.

I attended the one day Fear of Public Speaking course on a Saturday, and it was fantastic. It was a great mix of practical and theory. Everyone had to stand up and speak, and was recorded. We then watched the videos together and shared feedback with one another. My main takeaway from that exercise was that none of us sounded or looked as nervous as we felt. Vince also explained the reasons why we feel anxious and panicked, and provided us with some techniques and advice around how to reduce this feeling. Vince was positive and encouraging throughout, and the day went by very quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who is feeling nervous about public speaking, and wants a confidence boost/to be put on the right path to addressing the issue!

Its the morning after attending a two day public speaking course with collage of public speaking. For someone with no previous experience of speaking to an audience or even a small group I was quite nervous the day before attending. But I have to say that by the end of the first day I had found a hidden voice and confidence.
I will recommend to friends and family
Thank you Vince

I attended the 121 Executive Speaking Course with Vince. It was a great intro into public speaking. Vince gave me some great tips to calm my nerves and think of the presentation as a "conversation" with the audience.

This 5 day course is extremely helpful. I had to practice lots of impromptu and prepared speeches every day in front of my fellow class mates. At first I felt anxious, but towards the end of the course I was actually excited to deliver my speeches to everyone - I actually surprised myself. The course made me realise how important body language and delivery is; it's not just what you say but also how you say it. The environment is friendly and encouraging which made me feel relaxed. Plus I received feedback after every speech which helped to guide me in the right direction. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone that wants to improve their confidence and self esteem too, I now feel I have a new positive opinion about myself. If you’re not sure whether to do the course or not, just do it- it's an intense but amazing 5 day experience that you won't forget!

Having just completed the 5 day course with Vince I must say what a great opportunity to learn from such an experienced expert! I learnt so much about the theory and practical side of public speaking in numerous different scenarios. Vince led the group in a very engaging and encouraging manner. We learnt much from his style and everyone in the group improved enormously in confidence. I cannot recommend highly enough.

I recently attended the one day "Fear of Public Speaking" course. Each member of the group had to present to the class, and be filmed and reviewed. This was daunting at first but it provided valuable feedback. It also helped me to grow in confidence as the day went on as the members of the group were very supportive of each other.
Vince provided a lot of advice and tips during the course and he also sent further useful resources and exercises to practice afterwards.
If you want to overcome your fear of public speaking, I highly recommend attending this course.

This was one of the most practical 2days course I have ever attended. The instructor, Vince Stevenson, was very knowledgeable and very interested in the growth of his students. He took his time to ensure that we were able to integrate theory with practice. I am glad I made the choice to attend the course and I would readily recommend it to friends and families.

I visited College of Public Speaking in October, for a best man speech that I had to do in early December. After the first day of the course, I had a new found confidence. The best man speech went superbly, I maintained eye contact with the crowd and I didn't need my notes at all throughout my speech. I got all the laughs and cried in the right places. The transformation versus before the course is unrecognisable. Thanks Vince for your help.

Vince is a great public speaking coach - He clearly explains what sets a good speech apart from a great one and focuses on how you can deliver a great one. Interesting and useful insights that I'll always keep in mind while speaking in public.

Really nice course. It's is focus in the very begining of public speaking path. You will have an insight about physical and psycological effects that something "stressful", as public speaking can be for some people (as me), makes to your body and mind. I really liked.
