The course is relevant to engineers, at all levels of responsibility and experience,  who want to improve the effect and impact of their business presentations and networking with colleagues and customers. 

Engineers who have attended the course said:

“I found the course really useful especially the communication cycle, objective setting and mind mapping.  It made me think of communication and the way we communicate in a  completely different way ­ it’s so much more than just presentations.”

“This was an extremely successful and effective pilot course which I would thoroughly recommend.  I intend to introduce a formal feedback mechanism with colleagues so that I can self-monitor the effectiveness of my communication.  I will also focus more on having effective aims and using the communication cycle in my day to day interactions."
