## How Long Is It? 1 Day

 
Do I need to do anything before the course? 

As part of the course, you will be asked to prepare and deliver a short group and individual presentation. You need to think in advance what subject you want to use for your individual presentation and bring any notes or resources with you that you may need. Don't panic though - the individual presentation is only 5 minutes maximum and you will work as part of a supportive and encouraging small group who will be presenting to each other and giving helpful feedback. 

A flipchart and paper is provided as is a laptop and projector if you wish to use them. Please bring any electronic presentation material you wish to use on a memory stick or bring your own laptop to use with the projector. The course does include a short amount of preparation time for individual presentations but you are strongly advised to do some advance preparation. 

Please Note: You do not have to use PowerPoint and are actively encouraged not to!
